Aston Villa striker Bertrand Traore admits he's proud playing for manager Steven Gerrard.

Traore says he looked up to Gerrard when he was a star with Liverpool.

"When I was younger I saw him and was a fan. He is one of the greatest ever in football and it is a great privilege to be trained by a legend like him," said Traore.

"He has experienced a lot, he has won a lot and he knows everything about the game.

"It is always good to get advice from someone who has so much experience."
