Fenerbahce are reportedly interested in signing Aston Villa attacker Jaden Filogen during the January transfer window.
According to PhotomacThey want to sign the 22-year-old winger on loan and a move to Turkey could also be ideal for him.
Filozine struggled to play regularly at Aston Villa and he has started just two league games for them this season. He needs more playing time at this stage of his career and the Turkish outfit may be able to give him that opportunity. He was highly rated in England before moving to Aston Villa and it will be interesting to see if he can regain his form and confidence.
Regular football in Turkey could help him bounce back stronger. Jose Mourinho could bring out the best in him.
Meanwhile, Aston Villa are well-stocked in wide areas and they won’t be able to give him enough playing time in the second half of the season. It would make sense for them to let the player go on loan So that he can continue his development with regular football.
Aston Villa need to improve their squad
Aston Villa are currently competing in the UEFA Champions League and they hope to secure European qualification next season as well. It will be interesting to see if they can plug the gaps in their squad in the January transfer window. Getting rid of some of their fringe players could help them bring in their own signatures.
Aston Villa look quite weak defensively and they need to bring in a quality central defender. A reliable central midfielder would also be a quality addition.
It remains to be seen how the situation develops. Filozin will certainly look to get his career back on track with regular football in Turkey if the move goes through.
If he is able to make an impact in Turkey in the second half of the season, he will be able to leave Aston Villa permanently in the summer.
