Aston Villa boss Steven Gerrard is plotting to raid former club Rangers with a January swoop for midfielder Glen Kamara.

And, as to be expected, the transfer update has had plenty of Villa fans talking on social media.

Villa are considering a midfield addition in the New Year after Marvelous Nakamba’s serious knee injury.

Kamara has been a player linked with following Gerrard to the Midlands ever since the latter moved to Villa Park in November, and it seems as if a formal offer is set to be launched.

According to TEAMtalk, also shared by The Sun, Rangers are considering selling Kamara for big money, with Gerrard and Villa keen on his services.

Ibrox officials are well aware of interest in the Finland international from Villa, with Kamara described as a player who would fit in a ‘top-six’ Premier League side by former Rangers star Antti Niemi.

Villa fans react

The AVFC Faithful shared the news regarding Kamara on Twitter on Wednesday afternoon. This is what these Villa fans had to say in reply, with some excited over his ability while others questioned his fit as a replacement for Nakamba…

“A good fit for the hole we need to fill. Could be a cut-price deal suitable for Jan, and SG and coaching staff know what they are getting. Wouldn't complain at all.”
