Aston Villa left-back Jordan Amavi has completed his permanent move to Marseille for an undisclosed fee, Ligue 1 have confirmed.

Marseille took Amavi on an initial loan in the summer, but have quickly decided to transform that into a permanent deal after an impressive start to the campaign.

The 23-year-old has even been called up to the full France squad after Layvin Kurzawa dropped out because of an injury.

Amavi played 48 games in all competitions for Villa across two seasons, an impressive record considering the injury he suffered in his first campaign with the club, and arrival of Neil Taylor as fresh competition in January.

Arriving for just under £8m from Nice in the summer of 2015, it’s thought that the fee that Marseille have parted with for his services exceeds that.

Amavi has signed a four-year contract with the French giants.
