Aston Villa in bizarre Rangers kit coincidence after Steven Gerrard move as Castore 'set to sign deal'

Steven Gerrard has joined Aston Villa — but according to reports, he may not be the only Rangers-related Liverpudlian signing for the Premier League side.

Footy Headlines have claimed that Merseyside-based clothing manufacturer Castore, the current Ibrox kit provider, are set to replace Italians Kappa when their contract at Villa expires next summer.

Castore are already partnered with Rangers, Newcastle and Wolves and seem ready to continue their expansion into football.

Gerrard, who agreed to become Villa's new manager on Thursday, is well documented as being a fan of the brand given his shared roots with founders Tom and Phil Beahon.

It remains to be seen how much Aston Villa could earn from the potential deal with Castore, or even for how many years it will be signed.

Footy Headlines are known for their summer kit leaks and have their finger on the pulse when it comes to new strips, including two summers running in which they have leaked Castore's new offerings for Rangers fans.

They also claim Sevilla could soon join up, while outside of football the clothing brand also has a strong partnership with Andy Murray.
