According to reports in Turkey, Fenerbahce are interested in signing two of the Championship’s brightest talents from Aston Villa and Wolves next season. The players in question are Jonathan Kodjia and Helder Costa respectively, with the Turkish side hopeful of signing both players.

Fotospor is reporting that the Turkish giants want the pair next term, as they change their transfer policy and go for younger lesser known talents.

Both Aston Villa and Wolves have reportedly been offered a lucrative loan deal for the season as Fenerbahce try to sign some prized assets.

Aston Villa signed the Ivory Coast striker last summer from Bristol City. The 27-year-old scored 22 goals in 46 games for club and country this season and, despite the odd criticism about his greediness, he has become a popular figure.

Costa joined Wolves on loan from Benfica last summer. After an impressive first half of the season saw him linked with Premier League sides Wolves paid big to make him theirs on a permanent deal in January.

There is surely no chance either player will be sent out on loan this summer and it remains to be seen just how serious Fenerbahce are about this.
