Aston Villa are one of many clubs circling around teenage sensation Omer Faruk Beyaz, according to a report by The Sun.

Five English clubs are in the hunt to sign Beyaz, including heavyweights Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester United and Manchester City.

And if it was not hard enough to fend off those four Premier League sides for Beyaz, there are a number of top European clubs scouting him.

The Fenerbahce starlet is wanted by German Bundesliga powerhouses Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund, alongside Serie A champions Juventus.

Dutch side PSV Eindhoven, Swiss Super League side Basel and Ukrainian champions Shakhtar Donetsk are also keen on Beyaz, as well as German pair Stuttgart and Eintracht Frankfurt.

Fenerbahce are also desperate to keep their talented teenager and he has a contract until 2021.

The calibre of the teams chasing the 15-year-old show just how talented he is and Aston Villa would pull off a major coup by winning this pursuit.

Aston Villa scouted the Turkey under-16 international in the Aegean Cup in Izmir – a tournament in which he scored four goals and provided two assists.

Turkey beat Spain in the final, with Beyaz netting both goals in the 2-0 win in front of numerous scouts.

Aston Villa face an uphill task trying to convince the Turkish youngster to pick them over all of these other clubs.

But if they managed to pull this deal off, it would be a signal of intent and it would send out a bold statement for the future direction of the club.
