What Jhon Duran did inside the tunnel after Aston Villa's win over Celtic in the Champions League was reportedly picked up by TNT Sports.

On Wednesday night, Unai Emery's men welcomed Scottish champions Celtic to Villa Park as they looked to secure a place in the top eight of the Champions League.

Morgan Rogers went on to net a hat-trick while Ollie Watkins also scored as Villa came away 4-2 winners, sealing their place in the round of 16.

Prior to the match, the headlines were dominated by both Duran and Watkins.

Englishman Watkins was the subject of a shock bid from Arsenal, who are looking to bolster their attacking options before Monday's deadline.

Meanwhile, Duran is reportedly closing in on a big-money transfer to Saudi Arabian side Al Nassr, where he will link up with Cristiano Ronaldo.

Transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano wrote: "Jhon Durán to Al Nassr, here we go! Story from earlier tonight confirmed as documents are being prepared.

"Aston Villa to receive €77m fixed fee plus add-ons, long term deal accepted by Durán. Medical booked tomorrow and then he will travel to Saudi right after."

Duran was an unused sub for Villa against Celtic, and after the match, it was reported that the 21-year-old made a kind gesture to his teammates and club staff.

According to a report by The Express, TNT Sports claimed that Duran was spotted handing out gifts to his Villa teammates and club staff in the tunnel, with could be a clear sign that he will be departing in the coming days.

Speaking after the match, Villa boss Emery was asked about both Duran and Watkins, he said: "Tomorrow we can speak about the transfers. Maybe even next week.

"I don’t want to speak before it’s done. In football, anything can happen. The club is working. We need some players and sometimes players can leave. It is not time to speak out."

When pushed on Watkins, Emery replied: "I told you today is not the day."

Looking ahead, Villa are set to take on either Borussia Dortmund, Atalanta, Club Brugge or Sporting Clube de Portugal in the Champions League round of 16.
