Kachloul turns down Rams move

Kachloul, who is yet to figure in manager Graham Taylor's squad this season, says he prefers instead to remain at Villa Park until a club comes in for him with the offer of a permanent deal.

"Hassan had the chance to go and play first-team football between now and the end of the season but he turned it down," Taylor told the Birmingham Evening Mail.

"I was somewhat surprised but I'm sure he has his reasons."
