Transfer insider drops exciting transfer hint with Aston Villa to 'finish off the job'

Just a day after the Premier League season drew to a close Villa announced the signing of highly-sought centre midfielder Boubacar Kamara on a free transfer from Marseille.

NSWE spent over £133m in the summer prior to the club’s first season back in the top-flight in 2019/20 and they managed to survive on the final day.

With this kind of backing and more signings seemingly to come with the Liverpool legend reportedly keen on
