Aston Villa striker Jonathan Kodjia completes move to Qatar
Villa’s Jonathan Kodjia has completed his move to Al Gharafa after the Qatari club confirmed the striker has signed for them on their official Twitter account.
The 30-year-old, who was out of contract at the end of the season, made just nine appearances for Villa this season, with his only goals coming against a youthful Liverpool side in last month’s Carabao Cup quarter-final.
Kodjia has not played for Villa since the FA Cup defeat to Fulham nearly a fortnight ago because of illness.
Al Gharafa, who play in the Qatar Stars League, are managed by former Fulham boss Slavisa Jokanovic. It is believed they have paid £2.5million to land the Ivory Coast international.
