Liverpool defender Joe Gomez will reportedly be the subject of ‘another move’ from Aston Villa before the transfer window closes.
The 24-year-old was linked with a switch to Villa Park earlier in the month but it appeared that the interest disappeared as quickly as it came.
However, having struggled to force his way back into Jurgen Klopp’s side, Gomez could be targetted once more by Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard.
That’s according to a report from Football Insider, as cited on Twitter.

The report claims that Villa have ‘not given up hope’ of singing the 11-cap England man this month and could make a late attempt.
Since returning from injury at the start of the season, Gomez has made 12 appearances across all competitions for the Reds – completing 90 minutes on just four occasions.

Valued at £22.5million and under contract at Anfield until 2024 (Transfermarkt), the Englishman remains a valuable asset to the club.
Despite seemingly making a sluggish return to action, not helped by the impressive start to life made by Ibrahima Konate, the one-time favoured partner to Virgil van Dijk is still a long-term investment.
All told, it’s likely Nat Phillips is the centre-back who will leave Mersyeisde in the final week of the window as the no-nonsense ace goes in search of richly deserved first-team football.
