Aston Villa is about to sign a new striker this summer, whether Ollie Watkins leaves the club or not, and they are now offered the opportunity to sign exciting talent.
Since John Duran has not been replaced by Aston Villa since departing for Al Nasr in January, one of the goals of the sports manager is to have a new striker taken to Villa Park. Many candidates have been identified, the most recent being the rising star of Türkiye.
Aston Villa provided the opportunity to sign Semi Kiriksoy
Aston Villa is being offered the opportunity to sign Besikutas Forward Semi Kiliskoi, as reported by FootballFancast. The 19-year-old, who scored 16 goals in 85 appearances for the Turkish Giants, will be on the market this summer as it appears to have been replaced by former Chelsea striker Tammy Abraham, who rented out at Villa Park during the 2018-19 season.
Kilicsoy, who has already made a four-time international appearance on Türkiye, reportedly has had discussions with Aston Villa, which can seal the deal at a rate in the £13 million region. Besiktas is not impressed with his score record. This is another reason they are willing to make way for a reduced price.
The Kirikusoi can also work as a winger on the left. This gives him an attractive outlook for Aston Villa. And while his goal record was relatively poor, Unai Emery is a kind of manager who will be able to improve his development in the coming years.
Thus, this could be a good signature for Aston Villa when it comes to realising. However, for now, no agreement has been made as consultations with Besikta has not yet been launched by sports director Monki.
