Karim El Ahmadi is off back to Feyenoord in a deal thought to be a cut price half a million quid.

The player had made no secret of his desire to return to The Netherlands and was in the last season of his Villa deal, hence the nominal transfer fee.

The midfielder is thought to have signed a three year deal at the club where he cemented his reputation and reunites with coach Fred Rutten, after a previous collaboration with FC Twente.
