The Villans announced their decision on Wednesday regarding the 19-year-old Turkish central defender, who will have played only a handful of matches with the Mauves.
Arriving at the start of August with an option to buy and a promise tag after his transfer from Kasimpasa in Turkey to Aston Villa, Özcan failed to convince Besnik Hasi. The Turkish international (1 cap) played six games with the Anderlecht senior team, notably starting in the last championship match against Dender (0-0). He also played five times with the Futures, including four times in the Challenger Pro League.
