Steven Gerrard has already been busy in the summer transfer window strengthening his Aston Villa squad for the 2022-23 Premier League season as he targets an assault on the top six.
Centre-back Diego Carlos has joined from Sevilla while Boubacar Kamara signed as a free transfer from Marseille while Brazilian playmaker Philippe Coutinho and goalkeeper Robin Olsen have turned their loan moves into permanent transfers.
That does not mean an end of Gerrard's summer business, however, with the Villa boss eager to bolster his defence with another centre-back to tighten up a backline which leaked 54 goals in the league last season. Mirror Sport has rounded up the latest Villa transfer news and rumours.
