Al Nassr’s move for Mitoma follows the Saudi Pro League side agreeing to a £64m deal for Aston Villa striker Jhon Duran.

It is understood the Japan international is not for sale.

Al Nassr’s deal for the Colombia international is part of a new Saudi strategy to focus on singing young and developing players rather than being regarded as a retirement home for aging superstars.
