Aston Villa have submitted a bold offer to sign one European wonderkid with one star going the other way.
This summer transfer window is highly important for Villa and Unai Emery. The Birmingham outfit has been on an upward trajectory since the Spaniard took over which is set to see them play in the Champions League next season.
However, one important thing for the club to watch out for is their European competitions. Newcastle United has a similar rise under Eddie Howe but the demand of the Champions League saw them fall down the table.
Therefore, Emery and Monchi must ensure that the squad is more than prepared for the challenge facing them.
Thankfully, over recent weeks, Villa have already brought in multiple players to bolster their ranks ready for their upcoming campaign.
Now, the Birmingham outfit has set their sights on another talent who is being hailed as a wonderkid in Turkey.
Aston Villa submit bid for Turkish wonderkid Semih Kılıçsoy with Alex Moreno included in the deal
Semih Kılıçsoy has become one of the hottest prospects in European football. The 18-year-old netted 12 times in 30 games last season for Besiktas as they won the Turkish Cup.
As a result, he has also earned three caps for Turkey’s senior side as his stock continues to increase.
Now, Villa have targeted the youngster. According to journalist Ertan Suzgun, Emery’s side submitted a bid for Kılıçsoy. This included cash as well as Villa left-back Alex Moreno.
However, it is believed that Beşiktaş did not accept the offer at first, finding the figure low.
Aston Villa must act fast if they want to secure the services of Semih Kılıçsoy
It is no secret that Kılıçsoy is currently a man in demand. It has been reported that Man City and Spurs are both interested in the forward.
Therefore, if Villa truly wants to have Kılıçsoy in their squad for the upcoming season, they must act fast before any of the ‘big six’ clubs come knocking.
Kılıçsoy will no doubt become a great player. No 18-year-old hits that many goals and becomes an international without having serious talent.
Emery has developed a knack at Villa for pushing youngsters to the next level, as seen with Morgan Rogers. Hopefully, he will be able to repeat this feat with Kılıçsoy.
