Steven Gerrard wants to reinforce his squad to avoid a fall to the Championship. After closing the signing of Coutinho, his ex-Liverpool teammate, the English coach wants to take Lucas Digne, ex Barcelona. The French side of Everton has stopped counting for Rafa Benítez and wants to leave Goodison Park. The now villain coach wants to take the defender, one of the best opportunities in this winter market.
The French international is also on the agenda for West Ham, Newcastle United and Chelsea, but his salary has been an obstacle in talks. In addition, Everton is asking for just over 35 million euros for the defender. Aston Villa need players with experience in that area and, at 28, Digne is one of the priorities. In addition, Aston Villa intends to tie the incorporation of a central, a winger and a midfielder. Gerrard has asked his new club for an effort.
