Aston Villa are reportedly keeping tabs on Besikitas winger Gokhan Tore.

Turkish publication Milliyet is reporting Villa sent scouts to watch Tore in Besikitas' 3-2 win over Fenerbahce in the Istanbul derby last week.

Tore played a key role in the victory, setting up Mario Gomez for the winning goal.

The 23-year-old leads the Turkish Super Lig in assists and has impressed Villa with his performances so far this season.

The Turkish international spent time with Chelsea's youth academy early in his career.
