Kilmarnock's Souleymane Coulibaly has joined Al Ahly after passing a medical and agreeing personal terms with the Egyptian champions.
The 22-year-old striker, who arrived at Rugby Park on a free transfer at the start of the season, has signed a three-and-a-half-year deal with the Cairo club.
Kilmarnock are expected to receive an initial fee in the region of £750,000 for the striker, who had quickly become a fans' favourite, with the sum rising towards seven figures if add-on clauses are triggered.
Coulibaly's agent Lee Payne said: "Souleymane has always been fully committed to Kilmarnock, but once they agreed a fee, he was given permission to talk to the club.
"It was too good an offer for Kilmarnock to turn down, and Souleymane is extremely grateful to Kilmarnock for his time at the club.
"Al Ahly are one of the biggest clubs in that part of the world and are top of the Egyptian league. It is a club that match Souleymane's ambitions."
The former Tottenham trainee, who began his career in Italy, signed a three-year deal at Kilmarnock last summer and was their top scorer this season with 11 goals in 26 appearances.
