Turkish side Kayseri Erciyesspor have signed Aston Villa midfielder Yacouba Sylla on a season-long loan deal.
Erciyesspor posted a photo of the Mali international on their official website on Monday, accompanied by a statement which read: "Yacouba Sylla has been leased from Aston Villa with a one-year contract being signed."
Sylla, 23, has made 24 appearances in all competitions for Villa since joining them in January 2013 from French outfit Clermont Foot on a three-and-a-half-year deal.
He started just five Premier League games and in April he was quoted as saying he was looking for a summer loan move due his unhappiness at spending so much time on the bench.
