Aston Villa boost as £8m-rated star says he is desperate to leave current club

Aston Villa have been linked with a move for Kasimpasa winger Trezeguet this summer, and his latest comments to are likely to provide the Midlands club with a big boost.

that Villa are preparing an £8million offer for 24-year-old Trezeguet, who has set the Turkish SuperLig alight for the past two seasons.

Joining on loan from Anderlecht in the summer of 2017, before making the deal permanent a year later, Trezeguet has netted 25 times across two seasons – as well as laying on 18 assists in just 71 outings.

His form – which includes a goal at the African Cup of Nations – has attracted interest from Aston Villa, and now his comments will come as a huge boost to Dean Smith’s side if they are indeed keen on the 39-time Egypt international.

“I have completed my mission here. I want to go now,” Trezeguet is reported as telling

TBR’s view – Trezeguet is a must for Villa

At just £8million, Trezeguet is a risk but one that is more than affordable to take. You will not find better stats than his from a winger in the SuperLig, and Villa needs creativity.

Yes, they have added Wesley Moraes, Anwar El Ghazi and Jota to their options in the final third, but more wingers are needed if they are to survive the drop come May 2020.

Trezeguet would provide pace, flair, skill, excitement and most importantly, goals and assists to a side that may struggle to create something out of nothing next season.
