Aston Villa have finally had a breakthrough with Besiktas in talks for Tammy Abraham, as they are now on the verge of re-signing the striker.

After a protracted saga involving complex negotiations across three clubs,  the Premier League side has struck a deal to bring the 28-year-old forward back to Villa Park.

According to reports from journalist Ben Jacobs, Aston Villa have reached a verbal agreement with Besiktas, pending final details.

Jacobs revealed on X that despite the complicated nature of the deal, which required multiple trips to Turkey by club officials, optimism remained high throughout the week.

Abraham has already agreed personal terms with Villa and is eager to return to the club where he enjoyed a prolific loan spell in the 2018/19 season.

In a follow-up update, Jacobs confirmed that Abraham has been given permission to fly to the UK, with a medical scheduled for Saturday.

The deal is understood to involve an £18 million transfer fee, with 19-year-old defender Yasin Ozcan, currently on loan at Anderlecht, heading to Besiktas as part of the exchange.
