Steven Gerrard looks set to have a new-look side ready for Aston Villa's curtain-raiser after being very active early on in the transfer window.
But fans are excited at the prospect of even more transfer business ahead of their first game against Bournemouth as the Villa boss splashes the cash of the club's wealthy owners. Boubacar Kamara signed on a free transfer from Marseille just after the end of last season and has since been joined by Sevilla centre-back Diego Carlos, while Philippe Coutinho and Robin Olsen have made their loan moves permanent.
Trezeguet has followed Matt Targett and Lovre Kalinic out of the door after completing his move to Trabzonspor but there continues to be reports surrounding Douglas Luiz’s future. Mirror Sport takes a look at the latest Villa transfer news and rumours.
