Fenerbahce is interested in Aston Villa winger Jaden Philogene

Fenerbahce are reportedly interested in signing Aston Villa forward Jaden Philogene during the January transfer window.

According to Photomacthey want to sign the 22-year-old winger on loan, and a move to Turkey could be ideal for him as well.

Philogene fought for regular game time at Aston Villa and has only started two league games for them this season. He needs more playing time at this stage of his career and the Turkish team could provide him with that opportunity. He was highly rated in England before his move to Aston Villa and it will be interesting to see if he can regain his form and confidence.

Regular football in Turkey could help him make a strong recovery. Jose Mourinho could get the best out of him.

Meanwhile, Aston Villa are well stocked in wide areas and are unlikely to be able to offer him enough game time during the second half of the season. It would make sense if they let the player go on loan so that he could continue his development with regular football.

Aston Villa must improve their squad

Aston Villa are currently competing in the UEFA Champions League and are hoping to secure a place in the European Union for next season as well. It will be interesting to see if he manages to fill the holes in his squad during the January transfer window. Getting rid of some of their supporting players could help them bring in their own signings.

Aston Villa looked quite vulnerable in defense and they should try to bring in a quality centre-back. The reliable central midfielder could also prove to be a quality reinforcement.

It remains to be seen how the situation will develop. Philogene will certainly look to get his career back on track with regular football in Turkey if the move goes through.

If he manages to impress in Turkey during the second half of the season, he could secure a permanent move away from Aston Villa in the summer.
