Aston Villa push for Feyenoord captain Orkun Kokcu

Feyenoord captain Orkun Kokcu could be heading to the Premier League this summer.

The 22-year-old has been enjoying a great season as captain of the Dutch giants.

With 12 goals and five assists in 42 games in all competitions, Kokcu is now a transfer target for English teams.

Aston Villa are the favorites to sign him in the summer, per The Mirror, while Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester United and Newcastle are all claimed to have interest.

Portuguese outlet Record has stated that Benfica are not pursuing a deal for Kokcu, as they cannot financially compete with the Premier League sides.

Villa may even have European football to offer depending on how their season concludes.
