Aly Cissokho has finally completed his move to Turkish Super League newcomers Yeni Malatyaspor.

Villa will receive around £1.3million for the 29-year-old who has signed a two-year-deal at his new club.

The fee of 1.5million Euros is the biggest outlay Yeni Malatyaspor have ever made, according to reports in Turkey.

And given that Cissokho was surplus to requirements at Villa, it’s good business for the claret and blues who continue to balance the books in order to fall in line with Financial Fair Play.

In total, Cissokho made 58 appearances for Villa during three seasons at the club.

He was signed by Paul Lambert from Valencia in 2014 for around £3million as Villa needed more experience in their squad.

Initially he started well but was soon moved aside when Villa recruited the likes of Jordan Amavi and Neil Taylor.
