The attacker, who has helped his national side Egypt to the final of the African Cup on nations tomorrow, has been linked with a move to Turkish side Istanbul Basaksehir.

Although the transfer window shut at the end of January across Europe, it remains open until Tuesday in Turkey .

However, 27-year-old Trezeguet has been included in Villa boss Steven Gerrard’s updated squad, which has been lodged with the Premier League following a transfer window which has seen him bring in Philippe Coutinho, Lucas Digne, Robin Olsen and Calum Chambers.

Trezeguet was a second-half substitute as Egypt beat hosts Cameron in the African Cup of Nations on Thursday night. They take on Senegal in the final tomorrow.
