Jamie Carragher: 'Aston Villa would be a great move for Steven Gerrard'

Speaking to the Telegraph, Jamie Carragher said: "I think Aston Villa would be a great move for Steven Gerrard. But he took the title away from Celtic last season, and he's in a great position to win it again.

"I think in a perfect world you'd want to stay at Rangers to the end of the season and come away from there with two titles. Sooner or later there's going to be a great chance for him to come to the Premier League.

"But for me, it's a difficult one. If he got offered the Villa job, I don't think there'd be many jobs in the Premier League which he would get offered better than that."

Villa sacked manager Dean Smith at the weekend following a disappointing start to the 2021/22 season, with the team sitting in 16th place in the table.

According to the Telegraph, Gerrard is among the favourites to take over at Villa Park but the Liverpool legend is yet to comment on the rumours.
