Steven Gerrard has been linked with numerous names since his arrival at Villa Park last week - the most recent being Atletico Madrid right-back Kieran Trippier.

The 31-year-old previously spent a majority of his career in the Premier League, most recently with Tottenham Hotspur before he made the move to Spain in 2019.

Trippier has been a consistent member of Atleti’s starting XI since his arrival and is now attracting interest from Aston Villa, according to 90min.

The Midlands club were linked with a move for Trippier last year but it never materialised and with the defender now reportedly keen on a return to England, their second attempt may be more successful.
