Kayseri Erciyesspor midfielder Yacouba Sylla retains hope of a future with Aston Villa.

In an interview with France Football he appears to remain quite philosophical about his future:

"I did not want to travel to all four corners of England on the bench.

"Last season, I may have made mistakes, but I know I gave everything. That dark season with Aston Vila does not leave bad memories because we learn through the difficulty.

"I could not fall lower than last season but now I'm focused on the season in Turkey.

"Aston Villa is the club to which I belong, I always look out for their results. I left to come back stronger, but the truth of tomorrow is we do not know."
