Few Aston Villa fans can complain about the club's proactive transfer business to date this summer but there are more exits and possible frustration on the horizon.
Villa have been busy recruiting Boubacar Kamara, Diego Carlos and the permanent signings of Philippe Coutinho and Robin Olsen after successful loans. Matt Targett completed a £15million move to Newcastle United yesterday and more players could follow him out of the door to boost boss Steven Gerrard's transfer budget this summer.
Gerrard is also said to be keen to acquire a left-sided defender and is in the market for another striker to add to his attacking arsenal of Danny Ings and Ollie Watkins ahead of the 2022/23 Premier League season, plus potentially another midfielder too. Mirror Football looks at the latest Villa transfer news and rumours.
