Aston Villa given chance to buy out-of-form ace once dubbed the next Aguero

Aston Villa find themselves in the hunt for additions this summer and could now take up an intriguing set of circumstances to land an exciting talent at Villa Park, according to reports.

Aston Villa move on after PSR deadline

Following a trend that Chelsea set, Aston Villa moved to sell a stake in their women’s team worth in the region of £55 million to avoid any threat of a PSR breach.

Providing some leeway in the market, the Villans are now keen to strike while the iron is hot after another productive campaign under Unai Emery that resulted in Europa League qualification, so who could they attract to the West Midlands?

Despite Newcastle United’s advances, Aston Villa are also interested in a swoop for Nottingham Forest winger Anthony Elanga, though it remains to be seen if they can ward off interest from St James’ Park in the Swedish international.

Reports have claimed that Galatasaray playmaker Gabriel Sara has been the subject of an offer from the Villans. Nevertheless, the Turkish giants want to recoup £34 million and will hope to spark a bidding war amid Manchester City, Manchester United and Leeds United lurking in the distance.

Philippe Coutinho’s long-awaited permanent departure from Aston Villa to join Vasco Da Gama has been confirmed, coming as anothet timely boost on the PSR front with additions now at the forefront of everyone’s mind.

Most of the bricks are still to be laid for Emery this summer, but there is plenty of optimism starting to grow among supporters that another successful campaign could be on the cards, something that will likely be amplified by recent reports.

Aston Villa hold talks with Besiktas over Semih Kilicsoy

According to reports in his homeland via Sport Witness, Aston Villa have been offered Besiktas forward Semih Kilicsoy and he has held talks with the club over a potential £13 million move.

Tammy Abraham’s arrival in the Turkish capital has loosened their stance on the versatile forward, who registered four goals and six assists in 46 appearances across all competitions last season.

Once dubbed ‘The Next Aguero’ by former EFL Scout Jack McGhee, he still has three years left on his contract at Besiktas, though seems to be available for a relative low fee due to his underwhelming campaign in front of goal.

The 20-year-old has also attracted recent interest from Newcastle United and Leeds United, potentially sparking a battle for his services between Premier League competitors this summer.

While Aston Villa’s search for attacking talent goes on, they could do worse than rolling the dice on someone with Kilicsoy’s potential to develop ahead of next campaign.
