Galatasaray are making a move for Aston Villa midfielder Philippe Coutinho.

Galatasaray want Villa to agree to a loan deal, at least on an initial basis, says The Sun.

But the Premier League club will seek to recoup some of the 17m they spent last summer on making the player's temporary move from Barcelona permanent.

Coutinho was linked with a return to South America last month after falling down the pecking order at Villa Park under new boss Unai Emery.

The former Liverpool star has not managed a single goal or assist this season and is yet to start a Premier League game under Emery.
