Fenerbahce have entered talks with Aston Villa striker Jonathan Kodija over a summer move according to reports in Turkey.

Footsore claim that the Yellow Canaries have made Villa a loan offer to sign Kodija on a temporary deal next season.

Per the source, Fenerbahce will focus on a transfer policy aiming to make loan signings and free transfers.

The Canaries are looking to sign a striker with Moussa Sow’s loan set to expire and uncertainty over Robin van Persie’s future.

Kodija scored 19 goals in all competitions for the Championship outfit this season.

Villa will play in the same league next season and Fenerbahce hope that the lure of playing top-tier and European competition football will be enough to convince the Ivory Coast international into making the move.

Fenerbahce will play Europa League football next season after securing a top-four place over the weekend.

The Canaries will however, miss out on the Champions League as they are unable to push into the top two.
