Aston Villa in transfer talks to sign 20-year-old – €15m would seal deal

There’s a claim in the Turkish media that Aston Villa have revived their interest in Besiktas forward Semih Kılıçsoy.

The 20-year-old was linked with a move to the Premier League side last summer, but their offer was rejected by the Istanbul club.

However, the player’s situation has now changed at Besiktas, and they could offload him in this transfer window following his disappointing performances last season.

Fanatik report on Aston Villa’s links with Kılıçsoy and state the Turkey international has been offered to them. It’s claimed transfer talks have commenced between the two clubs and Besiktas are looking for offers in the region of €15m.

According to the Turkish media outlet, with the recent arrival of Tammy Abraham, Kılıçsoy could now be sold in a permanent deal in order to raise transfer funds. Abraham has been loaned from AS Roma for the season.

Kılıçsoy has also been linked with Newcastle United and Leeds United in recent weeks.

He made 36 appearances for the Super Lig club last season, scoring four goals. He’s contracted until June 2028.
