Aston Villa left-back Aly Cissokho has been linked with a move to Goztepe.
The future of Aly Cissokho as an Aston Villa player remains uncertain, with Turkish publication Fotomac linking him with a summer move to Goztepe.
The club are preparing for a return to the Super Lig after a 14-year absence from Turkey’s top flight and view Cissokho as the ideal signing to bolster their squad.

The 29-year-old played 12 games for Villa in the early part of last season, before losing his place in the starting XI and then being sent on loan to Olympiacos in January.
However, in Greece the left-back’s appearances were limited almost exclusively to cup competitions and now he is back in the Midlands ahead of the 2017/18 campaign.
Cissokho joined the Villans from Valencia in the summer of 2014 having come to prominence in English football during a season-loan loan spell at Liverpool in 2013/14.
Since then the defender has played 58 times for the club in all competitions and was also sent out on loan to FC Porto during the 2015/16 term.
