Aston Villa left-back Aly Cissokho is set for a medical ahead of a loan move to Olympiakos, according to Mercato365.

Cissokho was the claret and blues’ first-choice left-back under Roberto Di Matteo at the beginning of the season before Jordan Amavi eventually overtook him under Steve Bruce.

The 29-year-old has been at the club since Paul Lambert signed him in 2014, and in that time has previously been loaned to FC Porto, too.

Cissokho has 18 months left to run on his current contract at Villa Park, but Greek giants Olympiakos are hopeful of completing a deal that’ll run until the end of the season.

Frenchman Cissokho has plenty of experience of playing around Europe, having had spells previously too at Liverpool, Valencia and Lyon.
