He will undergo a medical on Friday before signing a four-year contract.

A Barca statement said: “Barcelona and Valencia have closed a deal for Spanish striker David Villa.

“The Spanish international is due in Barcelona on Thursday evening and will have a medical on Friday morning.

“Villa will be officially unveiled as a Barca player. He will then make an appearance on the Nou Camp pitch.
