Aston Villa boss Steven Gerrard is contemplating a move for another forward.

The Villa manager is busy strengthening his squad for a push to qualify for a European competition through the Premier League next season.

According to The Sun, Gerrard is deciding on the future of youngster Cameron Archer.

The England Under-21 star scored seven goals on loan at Preston last term.

The source states that if Villa can secure another forward, Gerrard will let Archer leave on loan again.

Several Championship clubs, including Preston, want to sign him on loan.
