Aston Villa boss Steven Gerrard is planning a double raid on former club Rangers.

The Daily Mail says Gerrard has made winger Ryan Kent a priority signing in the winter window.

The former Liverpool academy ace has made a name for himself in Scotland, and played a big role in helping Rangers win the league title.

Kent - who made a permanent switch to Rangers for £7.5million in 2019 - can play out wide or as a number ten.

Former club Liverpool could be set for a tidy influx of cash should Villa sign the Englishman.

The Reds are believed to have a 20 per cent sell-on clause.

Villa will also 'renew' their interest in midfielder Glen Kamara, according to the Daily Record.
