Rangers winger Ryan Kent is a target for Aston Villa.

The Express & Star says new head coach Steven Gerrard is understood to have been promised significant funds to spend in the January transfer window.

And according to reports north of the border, he could raid former club Rangers for Kent.

Able to play on both wings or as a number 10, Kent has been a long-term transfer target for Leeds.

But Gerrard's move to Villa Park has led to speculation he could jump ahead of Marcelo Bielsa in the battle to bring the 25-year-old back to England.
