Unai Emery is eyeing up a move for a Turkish prospect who has a bright future.
With Unai Emery’s sights set on lifting silverware this season, Aston Villa may be forced to reinforce the squad in the transfer window.
Villa have been excellent this season, particularly in attack, where they’ve netted the joint-third highest number of goals in the Premier League, 43.
However, given the club’s evident desire to be successful, they might spend money on a young player who has already demonstrated exceptional talent.
Aston Villa hopes to sign a bright young player.
Turkey-based reports claim that Aston Villa is planning to make an offer as early as this week, with hopes of landing Semih Kilicsoy in January.
The Midlands rivals Wolves and other teams will compete with Emery’s team to sign the star player from Besiktas.
He is a vital player for the Turkish team, though, and he recently inked a new contract, so they won’t let him go cheap.
The best player Aston Villa has had since Grealish
Jack Grealish joined Villa in 2014. However, he didn’t fully realise his potential as a wonderkid until he guided his team to the Premier League.
The now 28-year-old, who has won both the Premier League and the Champions League, plays for Man City, the greatest team in the world.
It is Emery’s hope that Kilicsoy will eventually have the same effect on Villa that Grealish did in his last season there, when he made just 24 Premier League starts and scored six goals and dished out ten assists. The young Turk might be their best young talent since their £100 million sale based just on talent alone.
Football analyst Ben Mattinson has called the Turkish star a “hidden gem” in the past, and it has only been since December that he has truly begun to cause waves throughout Europe.
He’s only eighteen years old, but he’s already virtually won three of Besiktas’ games. A few stats from his five Super Lig starts this season are displayed in the table below.
