Steven Gerrard has been busy recruiting the likes of Philippe Coutinho this summer and is planning further signings but the Aston Villa manager admits the form of some of the club's starlets could change his pecking order.
Gerrard and Villa watched on with pride last week as England U19s beat Israel 3-1 after extra-time to be crowned U19 EURO winners in Slovakia. Academy graduates Carney Chukwuemeka and Aaron Ramsey scored, while Tim Iroegbunam came off the bench.
The result saw England win for a second time, following on from 2017’s victory in Georgia, when the likes of Aaron Ramsdale, Mason Mount, Ryan Sessegnon and Reece James were in the squad which beat Portugal.
