Steven Gerrard reveals Aston Villa are on the hunt for January reinforcements after pinpointing transfer targets in a meeting with club officials... but he vows to only bring in players that will 'move us forward'

Aston Villa boss Steven Gerrard has vowed to spend their January cash wisely.

Villa have spent close to £330million since returning to the Premier League in 2019 and Gerrard, appointed in November, is eager to make his mark on the squad.

He would like to keep on-loan Manchester United defender Axel Tuanzebe, who has been linked with Napoli, while he is also keen on bolstering his full-back options.

Villa spent £87million in the summer on Emi Buendia, Leon Bailey and Danny Ings after selling Jack Grealish for a British record £100million to Manchester City - but remain eager to improve.
