Fenerbahce have signed Aston Villa striker Mbwana Ally Samatta



 Mbwana Ally Samatta has left Aston Villa for Fenerbahce on loan, according to a statement on the Turkish club website.

Fenerbahce has already announced this morning that they have signed the 27-year-old striker on a four-year contract.

Samatta joined Villa from Belgian club Genk in the January transfer window for a fee reported by the daily mail to be worth £8.5 million.

The Tanzania international striker made 11 starts and three substitute appearances in the Premier League  for the Villans during the second half of last season, scoring one goal in the process.

Samatta could not really make an impact at Villa in the second half of last season, and there is no surprise that the Villans have decided to severe ties with him.

The Villans signed Ollie Watkins earlier this summer, and the former Brentford  star who scored twenty six goals last season is set to be the number one striker under manager Dean Smith now , especially with Wesley injured.

Bertrand Traore is also able to play upfront, and it was going to be extremely hard for Samatta to get much playing time at Villa Park this season.
