Aston Villa boss Steven Gerrard is finalising his plans for a summer shake-up at Villa Park.
The Villa boss was active in January bringing in Philippe Coutinho on loan and Lucas Digne , Calum Chambers, Robin Olsen and Kerr Smith.
Gerrard is considering buying Coutinho permanently this summer using Villa’s £33million clause. But he is also targeting a whole new spine to his team with a new defender, central midfielder and striker on his list.
Brighton ’s Yves Bissouma and Leeds United’s Kalvin Phillips are ambitious midfield targets but Boubacar Kamara is also on their radar.
Villa are 11th in the Premier League table, a point and a place behind Crystal Palace, although they have a game in hand.
Aston Villa defender Kortney Hause is reportedly keen to leave the club this summer. The defender recently signed a new contract extension with Villa in January until 2025 but he has had little game time under Steven Gerrard this season.
Hause,26, has only made seven Premier League appearances for Villa this campaign, with just one start coming since Gerrard replaced Dean Smith in November. His only start came in the 2-1 defeat at Brentford back in January and has not played since Calum Chambers joined the club in the transfer window.
Now the Daily Mail claim that Hause, signed from Wolves in June 2019 after a successful loan, could look to leave the club this summer for a fresh start after a January transfer to Watford fell through.
Aston Villa are being linked with a summer move for Marseille holding midfielder Boubacar Kamara, according to reports. The 22-year-old will become a free agent this summer as he is set to leave the French club when his contract expires at the end of the season.
