ASTON VILLA reportedly want to bring Steven Nzonzi back to the Premier League after he was suspended by Galatasaray.
The former Stoke midfielder is on loan from Roma but has been sidelined by the Turkish club after a bust-up in training.

France international Nzonzi, 31, is now open to a Prem return with the Villans leading the queue, claims the Mirror.
Villa spent big over the summer but need reinforcements after being smashed 6-1 by Manchester City.
And signings with Premier League experience would be a huge help in their battle to avoid the drop.
Nzonzi was part of France’s squad as they won the World Cup in Russia and spent six years in England at Blackburn and Stoke.
Villans chiefs have already brought in Pepe Reina, 37, after first-choice stopper Tom Heaton was crocked.
And Danny Drinkwater has also been signed on loan, with the Chelsea flop offering another midfield option.
Boss Dean Smith is in desperate need of a striker, however, as summer arrival Wesley will miss the rest of the season.
He was keen on Michy Batshuayi but Villa baulked at Chelsea’s staggering £45million demands.
The Blues claim they will not send Batshuayi, 26, out on loan again after his recent stint at Crystal Palace.
