Yacouba Sylla has joined Turkish club Kayseri Erciyesspor on a season-long loan, subject to international clearance.
Sylla, who joined Villa in January 2013 on a three-and-a-half-year deal from French outfit Clermont Foot, has played 24 times for Paul Lambert's side.
Sylla follows Antonio Luna and Nicklas Helenius out of the club on loan deals as Lambert looks to reshape his squad ahead of the new Premier League season.
The 23-year-old midfielder played once for France's U21 team before opting to play for Mali whom he has represented four times.
