Yacouba Sylla loaned out by Aston Villa

Aston Villa midfielder Yacouba Sylla has joined Turkish side Kayseri Erciyesspor on a season-long loan deal.

The 23-year-old, who has been with the Villans since January 2013, admitted last season that he was frustrated by a lack of first-team action at Villa Park.

Erciyesspor said in an official statement on Monday: "Yacouba Sylla has been leased from Aston Villa with a one-year contract being signed."

The Mali international made 13 appearances in all competitions for Villa last term.
