Yasin Ozcan plan revealed as technical director lifts lid on Aston Villa transfer
Yasin Ozcan’s boss at Kasımpasa has effectively confirmed the youngster’s transfer to Aston Villa and laid out what happens next.
Ozcan’s move to Villa Park has been well-publicised in recent days, with the 18-year-old said to have cost €8m and signed a contract until 2030, making him Villa’s second signing of the transfer window.
However, while the first – Donyell Malen – will come in and hopefully contribute quickly, the teenage centre-back is expected to remain with his current club for the rest of the season.

Speaking to HT Spor, via Turkiye Gazetesi, Kasımpasa technical director Hakan Keles lifted the lid on the deal.
"It is a matter of pride for us on behalf of our community. It is a matter of pride for such a player to come out of our infrastructure and represent Turkey. Due to the agreement, he will most likely stay with us until the end of the season. I am very happy for him as well. I think he will do well, develop and serve in the national team.
"It will be good for us for our future plans for him to be with us until the end of the season. He had a small injury. We could not benefit from him in the last match. There was a signing process. He will return.
“Hopefully, we will benefit from him in the next match. He has increased his momentum since I arrived. I think he has a lot of potential. I think he will adapt there. He has a lot of potential, hopefully he will reveal it there as well."
