Aston Villa: Fans react to Besiktas' reported interest in Mbwana Samatta - Aston Villa

Many Aston Villa fans have reacted after a report emerged linking Turkish side Besiktas with a move for Mbwana Samatta.

With the new Premier League season fast approaching, Villa manager Dean Smith will undoubtedly be keen to see his attacking players find consistent form. Having lost Brazilian striker Wesley to injury back in January, Smith turned his attention to Tanzanian centre-forward Samatta, who arrived during the winter transfer window.

However, the 27-year-old failed to impress in the Premier League, netting just one goal in his 14 appearances. Samatta did make an impression in the Carabao Cup final, though, netting Villa’s only goal in a 2-1 defeat to Manchester City, but the arrival of Ollie Watkins from Brentford has now cast doubt on the striker’s future at Villa Park.

Amid speculation over his potential exit this summer, a report from Fotospor had linked Besiktas with a potential transfer bid for the Tanzanian. Responding to the reporting interest from Turkey, Samatta recently revealed his desire to remain at Villa Park.
