Yasin Ozcan (now out on loan at Anderlecht)

From The Athletic piece in Jacob Tanswell tweet

More broadly, Villa had been working on longer-term defensive targets. Yasin Ozcan, 18, has signed a four-and-a-half-year deal from Turkish side Kasimpasa, worth €7m upfront with a further €1m in possible add-ons. The Athletic understands a deal is completed, but Ozcan will stay at Kasimpasa until the end of the season.

Thanks both. Sounds promising.

[Brazilian Villain]

Good stuff. I was hoping we'd signed this kid but, like CDBF, was wondering why there'd been no official confirmation of it.

[Steve67]

Very under the radar.  Sounds like a really promising player.

[Hillbilly]

Please be pre- World Cup Alpay, not the complete nimrod who came back.

Now confirmed on the OS.

[edgysatsuma89]

Yeah, just on SSN. Wonder why the delay announcing?

[UK Redsox]

Yeah, just on SSN. Wonder why the delay announcing?

The Turkish transfer window has different dates, so I don't think there was any rush to get this finalised

[Toronto Villa]

Yeah, just on SSN. Wonder why the delay announcing?

"announce when went, announce when we waaant, we're Aston Villa we announce when we want..."

[Brazilian Villain]

Yeah, just on SSN. Wonder why the delay announcing?

He was waiting to see how Asensio played for us before committing.

You make rash decisions with a chub-on.

Ha! *laughs nervously*

[eamonn]

Won't get too excited about him til he gets a run in the first team if that ever happens. We sell our kids wily-nilly these days. The signing of Ned just seems pointless, give up on him after a handful of cameos. I assume that's part of the future now.

[Footy-Vill]

I feel this young Turkish will just be another cattle and a just brought up to be sold for profit
