According to Robin Bearner, Aston Villa youth Yasin Ozan is reportedly a surprise transfer target for Paris Saint-Germain.
The 19-year-old defender, who can play centre-back or left-back, quickly joined the villa and was then immediately loaned out to Anderlecht.
Still, Bairner writes on Substack, which he named Ozcan as looking at PSG as trying to bring in young talent at the top for the future.
“There’s a range of signing younger prospects with Lucas Belardo style signatures,” he said.
“Aston Villa’s Yasin Ozkan (loan in Anderlecht) is something to be seen especially at the tight spot at the Birmingham Club. Regarding Premier League FFP restrictions. ”
Will Aston Villa be forced to sell more?
Villa has had some issues with PSR recently, which meant they had to get cash from key players like Douglas Lewis and John Duran.
It looks like Ozkan could soon become another person who will make a path, but at least he is not currently a person who is deeply involved in UNAI Emery’s first team plan.
AVFC fans will definitely be frustrated, their clubs have cut off top prospects and may already be facing a struggle to protect him.
This could be PSG’s smart business if PSG pulls it off, and Luis Campos often does an amazing job throughout his career identifying top young players at a low price.
Despite the fact that PSG has so much financial strength, recent changes in approach have worked well for them, helping them win the Champions League last season despite the departure of Kylian Mbappe.
