Aston Villa transfer news: Coutinho ‘close’ but will Kent follow?

Philippe Coutinho is reportedly close to a Premier League return with Aston Villa, but is Steven Gerrard eyeing up more January transfer window signings?

Philippe Coutinho will reportedly decide on his future today as rumours intensify over a January transfer window move to Aston Villa.

Having been shortened to odds-on earlier this week, he is now as short as 1/33 to make a move to the Midlands. Tellingly, his transfer destination is now priced on a single bookmaker on the Oddschecker grid, backing up media reports that a deal is imminent.

The Brazilian playmaker scored 41 goals in 152 Premier League appearances for Liverpool before joining Barcelona in a mega-money move in 2018.

But is Coutinho the only player on Steven Gerrard’s transfer window radar?
