Villa already look significantly stronger, but they will want even more in order to put themselves in the best position to improve on their 14th place finish last season.

Gerrard knows he needs better tools to work with after seeing the squad reach its limits in the second half of last season, despite improvements following his arrival.

Departures will also be neccesary, however, with Villa needing to keep the books balanced.

With that in mind, we have rounded up all the latest transfer news and rumours surrounding the Midlands club.

We haven’t heard too much about outgoings at Villa this summer, but one player who is set to leave is Trezeguet.

According to Sabah via SportWitness, Trezeguet is now nearing an exit, with Turkish giants Trabzonspor edging towards a deal.

The winger is out of contract next year, and Villa are very likely to sell in order to avoid losing him for nothing.

Trezeguet is said to have attracted interest from more than one club, but Trabzonspor are reportedly close to striking a deal worth roughly £3million.

Villa are said to be in the race to land Bristol City starlet Reuben McAllister this summer.

McAllister has attracted plemty of interest this summer, with Newcastle United, Celtic and Rangers also said to be interested in a move.

According to The Sun, Villa are now expressing interest, hoping to lure the 16-year-old, who is not yet a first-team player at Ashton Gate.

Villa have a tricky job to win the race, but they could hold the financial advantage, over two of the clubs, at least.
