Yacouba Sylla joined the Turkish side of Kayseri Erciyesspor for a year, as announced the club on Monday. On its Website, Erciyesspor posted the picture of the Malian midfielder with these words: “we enrolled Yacouba Sylla for a year loan”.

Sylla therefore leaves Aston Villa a year and half only after joining the English club. The lack of playing time at Villa Park, the Malian will profit from this transfer to play more regularly.
