Aston Villa have sold Jordan Amavi to Sevilla for an undisclosed fee.
The 23-year-old Frenchman will join the Primera Division side on a five-year deal, if he passes a medical with the Rojiblancos.
Amavi, a former France Under-21 international, joined Aston Villa in 2015 but a knee injury curtailed his first season at Villa Park after only a couple of months.
It was a big shame given that the young defender had looked a real livewire going forward, but Villa fans will not be seeing those adventurous runs any longer.
Joe Bennett, whose Aston Villa career came to an end last summer when he joined Cardiff City, will have known Amavi from his time in the West Midlands.
And the 27-year-old has wished his former team-mate the very best of luck ahead of his new adventure in Spain.
Amavi recovered from the knee injury and helped the club to a 13th-placed finish in the Championship last season.
With his talent, perhaps he was never going to spend longer than a season in the second tier.
