Aston Villa striker Libor Kozak is a target for Turkish giants Trabzonspor, according to reports in Turkey.

The Czech Republic international has only made 20 appearances since arriving at Villa Park for £7 million in 2013.

Steve Bruce admitted to the Birmingham Mail previously that Kozak is free to leave in the January transfer window after making just two appearances for Villa this season.

Both of those games, Derby County and Bristol City, came prior to Bruce arriving at Villa.

“Certainly Kozak needs to go and play somewhere. He’s been fit for the last four or five weeks. He scored twice in the under-23s at Stoke on Saturday.” Bruce said.

“To be fair to the boy, he’s just got himself back training and fit. It’s been a disaster and maybe a change of scenery for him is probably inevitable.

“He needs to go and play football so if we could get a home for him to go and play football, that would probably be good.”

Kozak has since found himself frozen out of the first team picture and is almost certain to exit next month.

And Medya Trabzon are reporting that the Villa striker could be a target for the Turkish side after they decided to end the loan spell of South Korean striker Suk Hyun-jun.
