The 21-year-old will now have a medical in London on Thursday and is expected to sign a five-and-a-half year deal.

The former Chicago Fire forward was linked with a move away from Villa Park throughout the summer, but remained with Villa and has gone on to have a breakout season.

Paris Saint Germain and West Ham United had made contact with the club this month, but it appeared that the Villans were going to turn down any offer sent in their direction.

That no longer seems to be the case and now a move to the Saudi Pro League is on the cards for a huge fee plus add-ons.

Despite only starting four Premier League starts this season, Duran's contribution has been a significant one, scoring 12 times in 28 appearances. And his impact off the bench has led to interest from a host of European clubs.
