Carney Chukwuemeka has an uncertain future at Aston Villa as he’s out of contract in 2023 and is stalling on a new deal amid interest from clubs overseas. The 18-year-old is highly regarded at Villa and was once called the best 16-year-old in the country years ago, so he’d be an asset for Steven Gerrard […]
Keinan Davis has an uncertain future at Aston Villa after being loaned out to Nottingham Forest last season, but the Reds opting against turning the move permanent means he’ll return to Bodymoor Heath for pre-season, unsure whether he’ll have a place under Steven Gerrard next season. The 24-year-old is likely to be behind Ollie Watkins […]
If there’s one position Steven Gerrard doesn’t need to strengthen, it’s in defence. The Aston Villa manager already has Diego Carlos, Tyrone Mings, Ezri Konsa, Calum Chambers and Kortney Hause at his disposal, so it wouldn’t make a lot of sense having a sixth centre-back going into next season. Reports from Italy in June suggested […]
Aston Villa have numbers in midfield with Boubacar Kamara, Marvelous Nakamba, John McGinn, Jacob Ramsey, Douglas Luiz, Morgan Sanson, Carney Chukwuemeka and Tim Iroegbunam at their disposal, but three of the aforementioned could leave this summer, putting pressure on Steven Gerrard to replace them. Luiz is out of contract in 2023 and isn’t close to […]
Keinan Davis looked on his way out of Aston Villa this summer when Nottingham Forest were considering turning his loan move permanent, but the newly-promoted Premier League outfit opted against signing the 24-year-old Villa striker and brought in Taiwo Awoniyi for a club-record fee instead. That move suggested Forest’s pursuit of Davis was dead in […]
Douglas Luiz has an uncertain future at Aston Villa this summer as his contract has 12 months to run without the 24-year-old being close to putting pen to paper on an extension. Steven Gerrard has made it known that Luiz is a player Villa want to keep beyond next season, but the 42-year-old will be […]
Aston Villa confirmed on Friday afternoon that Lovre Kalinic left the club to re-join HNK Hajduk Split. The 32-year-old signed a three-year deal at his former club after three disappointing years in the Midlands and won’t be missed by supporters. Kalinic made just eight appearances since joining the Villans from KAA Gent in January 2019, […]
Trezeguet is closing in on a move to Trabzonspor this summer after falling out of favour at Aston Villa, but the Claret and Blues won’t make back every penny they spent. Villa paid £9m to sign the 27-year-old in 2019 and paid him £32.5k-per-week/£1.7m-a-year in wages, so that’s a total of £10.7m. Villa have accepted […]
Steven Gerrard is keen on signing Conor Gallagher from Chelsea, but the 22-year-old would be the eighth midfielder on the books if Aston Villa won the race for his signature – Douglas Luiz, Marvelous Nakamba, John McGinn, Jacob Ramsey, Morgan Sanson, Carney Chukwuemeka, Tim Iroegbunam. So one or two departures are expected this summer and […]
Douglas Luiz has been linked with an exit from Aston Villa this summer after a disappointing campaign and Kevin Campbell believes Steven Gerrard won’t care where he goes so long as he can find a suitor. The 24-year-old made 35 appearances in all competitions this season, scoring two goals with three assists, but he struggled […]
Steven Gerrard isn’t short of central midfielders in the squad with Boubacar Kamara, Douglas Luiz, Marvelous Nakamba, John McGinn, Jacob Ramsey, Morgan Sanson, Carney Chukwuemeka and Tim Iroegbunam, but Luiz and Sanson have uncertain futures while Chukwuemeka and Iroegbunam are still raw talents, so Aston Villa could do with a tried and test option in […]
Bertrand Traore already had an uncertain future at Aston Villa after struggling for playing time this campaign, but his hopes of nailing down a starting place next season could be dead in the water as CNN Portugal say Villa are preparing a bid for Otavio. The 27-year-old is a right-winger from FC Porto and scored […]
