Besiktas eyeing up a move for Aston Villa forward Trezeguet just a year after the Egyptian left Turkey to complete his move to Villa Park

Aston Villa attacker Trezeguet is a transfer target for Besiktas just a year after he moved to Villa Park.

The Egyptian scored the goal that took Villa to the Carabao Cup Final, the winner in the 3-2 aggregate semi-final win over Leicester, and has shown flashes of promise during his first Premier League campaign, even though he has not been a regular starter under Dean Smith.

Trezeguet, 25, was signed last summer from another Turkish club, Kasimpasa, for close to £10million, as part of Villa's £130million spending spree.

Like many of the other players in the spending spree, Trezeguet had no prior experience in English football and struggled for consistency before the campaign was called to a halt following the coronavirus pandemic.
