A short statement from Aston Villa said:
Rudy Gestede has left Villa to join Middlesbrough.
Gestede has signed a deal at the Riverside Stadium until 2020.
The Benin striker, who joined us from Blackburn Rovers in July 2015, made 51 appearances and scored 10 goals in claret and blue.
Thanks for your contributions, Rudy – and good luck for the future.
As we reported > Here < the other day it is thought that Villa have made no loss on the signing and subsequent sale.
Good luck Rudy….
