Yasin Ozcan has joined Turkish club Besiktas on loan, and he is excited to get his career back on track after being frozen out at Aston Villa. The 19-year-old defender joined the Premier League club in January, but he struggled for regular opportunities. He was sent out on loan to Belgian club Anderlecht, but he barely played for them. He has now been loaned out to Besiktas as part of the deal to sign Tammy Abraham.

Omar Marmoush has become one of the most talked-about names of the winter transfer window, with the 26-year-old Egyptian forward now pushing for a move away from Manchester City in search of regular first-team football. Despite arriving from Eintracht Frankfurt in a blockbuster 75 million transfer, the striker has struggled to establish himself under Pep Guardiola, particularly after the recent arrival of Antoine Semenyo, which has further crowded City's attacking department.

Aston Villa have recalled Leon Bailey from his loan at AS Roma, and manager Unai Emery expects the winger to help his team straight away, without any need for an adaptation period.

Aston Villa lead in Turkey after a Jadon Sancho goal, his first ever for the club, while Celtic lead 2-0 in Italy despite having Reo Hatate being red-carded. He had scored their early goal, before Auston Trusty got the second.
