Aston Villa are set to renew their interest in Rangers star Glen Kamara now that Steven Gerrard is at the helm.
Record Sport can reveal that Villa have watched the Finnish international closely over the last couple of windows.
The Midlands club were close to making a £6 million bid in the August transfer window under former boss Dean Smith.
Villa sporting director Johan Lange is a big fan of Kamara and that interest is set to be ramped up by Gerrard’s arrival.
Gerrard signed him from Dundee and turned him into one of Rangers’ top stars.
Kamara has recently signed a new contract until 2025 but has never hidden his desire to have a crack at the English Premier League.
He came through the youth ranks at Arsenal and has since made his name north of the border.
Rangers have made no secret of the fact that their current model means they will need to sell players.
Kamara and winger Ryan Kent would both be at the top of Gerrard’s list - although Kamara would have a head start at Villa because the groundwork has already been put in.
A return for any of Rangers’ top stars is likely to upset the Ibrox faithful who are already furious about Gerrard’s exit.
