Aston Villa are reportedly interested in Orkun Kokcu

The Villans are one of six Premier League sides that are interested in signing the Turkish international, according to The Mirror.

The report claims that Unai Emery‘s side are the favourites to sign the 22-year-old.

Brighton, Tottenham, West Ham and Leicester City have also been linked with Kokcu in the past.

While he has also gained interest from LaLiga giants Sevilla too.

He has impressed this season and has been at the heart of the Feyenoord side that looks set to pip Ajax to the Dutch league title.

Kokcu has scored 12 goals and assisted four more in 42 appearances in all competitions this season.

The Dutch-born star represented Holland at youth level but switched allegiance to Turkey and has 20 full caps.

His value has previously been touted at around £30million.
