Gerrard has been overseeing a squad overhaul at Villa since taking over in November. He signed Philippe Coutinho from Barcelona on loan and Everton’s Lucas Digne. Previously he was linked with Brighton & Hove Albion midfielder Yves Bissouma, with a move in January touted. However, that didn’t come to success and it seems the former Liverpool captain is now targeting Kamara.The Marseille man is a versatile player who can play in a lot of positions, but mostly flourishes in defensive midfield.
