Steven Gerrard is still deliberating over who will be his long-term Aston Villa captain and has not ruled out the prospect of signing a new leader to wear the armband as part of his summer recruitment drive.
Gerrard said the current skipper, Tyrone Mings, is a strong candidate but that he will make a decision before the start of the next season. The 29-year-old England defender has captained Villa this season but Gerrard is keen to add leaders to his squad in the summer. Gerrard is also thought to be keen on signing a defensive midfielder, as well as a striker. The Villa manager said he has been open with Mings about his thoughts on the situation.
