Kalvin Phillips top of Aston Villa summer transfer list as Steven Gerrard prepares for big clear-out

Here's the latest instalment of our Aston Villa transfer agenda and other talking points from this week's Q&A with reporter Ashley Preece. From Villa's red-hot pursuit of £60million-rated Kalvin Phillips to the futures of Matty Cash, Douglas Luiz and Carney Chukwuemeka.

There's also discussion on the possible introduction of safe standing at Villa Park and the atmosphere in general off the back of Villa's 1-0 defeat to Arsenal. Here's the best of what went down including the spotlight once again being on Villa's recruitment department this summer.

We're all still stinging from Saturday a bit given the manner of it! It does show where we are, spot on. Kalvin Phillips, yes, legs in that one. It'd be a blockbuster £60m deal. You've got to pay the big bucks for top players and, as we saw at the Euros, he's one of them. He would improve Villa massively. It all depends how Leeds finish. Marsch could use money to build his own squad so I'd say it's very much on the cards. The Times ran a detailed report on it on Sunday. £10m salary package. Villa prepared to move heaven and earth to get him. It's been a problem position for a long while now, as we know. Departments in the summer: RB, LB, DM, possibly a striker as well. Ings' situation, intrigued by that one. Nothing is set in stone yet. These remaining 9 games will tell us an awful lot more of Villa's transfer plans. What does the future hold for Traore/Bailey... Is Sanson happy? Lots to iron out. As for Naka, he'll be back after the international break, yeah, could play in an U23 match before Wolves.

It was pretty shocking given the level of expectancy that's now upon us - especially at home! Ramsey needs a rest, totally agree with that. Again, Coutinho/Buendia together
