Aston Villa attacking midfielder Nicolo Zaniolo is expected to leave the club this summer.

The Italian signed from Turkish giants Galatasaray on loan in August and has struggled since.

He has played 27 times, but has only managed two goals in those games.

Turkish website Akşam claim the loan deal will not be made permanent at the end of the season.

"Like everything, when you make a change you need time," Zaniolo stated of his Villa experience back in November.

“I'm happy because the Premier League is a great championship.

“Aston Villa is a great team. But in any case, I still have to adapt well and better. I have a lot of time ahead and we hope to do it well, I want to show my qualities."
