Besiktas line up move for Villa forward

 

Turkish champions Besiktas are weighing up a move for Aston Villa striker Rudy Gestede, according to English business newspaper City AM.

 

Besiktas are determined to sign a new striker this summer following the departure of Mario Gomez and have since been linked with a variety of strikers currently based in England.

 

Manchester City’s Wilfried Bony and Chelsea striker Loic Remy could prove out of their financial might, but a move for Championship forward Gestede would be well within their means.
