Aston Villa's Trezeguet set to make Turkey switch
Villa winger Trezeguet is on course to complete a loan move to Istanbul Basaksehir for the rest of the season.
The 27-year-old, part of the Egypt team beaten by Senegal in Sunday’s Africa Cup of Nations final, will be allowed out to get regular game time having fallen down the pecking order at Villa Park.
A deal is expected to be completed before tonight’s transfer deadline in Turkey. Basaksehir president Goksel Gumusdag said yesterday: “Trezeguet made it to the final with Egypt, he will probably be here on Tuesday. I believe we will finalise (the loan move).”
Trezeguet has made 56 Premier League appearances for Villa but he has featured only once this season, having only recovered from a serious knee injury in December.
Villa return to top flight action for the first time in two-and-a-half weeks when they host Leeds tomorrow night.
