Aston Villa left-back Aly Cissokho close to joining Turkish side Yeni Malatyaspor on two-year deal

Aston Villa full-back Aly Cissokho is reportedly closing in on a move to Turkish Super League newcomers Yeni Malatyaspor.

The 29-year-old Frenchman is expected to leave Villa Park this summer after being deemed surplus to requirements at the Championship side.

The defender spent the second half of last season on loan at Greece giants Olympiakos and had been tipped for a return.

However, according to CNN Turk, Yeni Malatyaspor have agreed a two-year deal with Cissokho.

The Frenchman is expected to arrive in Turkey within the coming days to complete the formalities before signing for the Turkish Super League new boys.
