Athletic: Aston Villa is interested in Liverpool defender Joe Gomez

According to The Athletic, Aston Villa is interested in Liverpool defender Joe Gomez. With only two centre-backs in Aston Villa's squad currently available because of Consa's injury, they are hoping to sign a new centre-back in the winter window.

The 24-year-old fell to the ground in a 2-2 draw with Manchester United after a clash with Erlanga, and the team doctor, after coming in to check on Khonsa's injury, thought he could no longer continue to play. Aston Villa head coach Gerrard said: "He had a serious blow to his hip that probably hit a bone. He has done his best to stick to the game and he is a true warrior. We had given him some medication in midfield to try to relieve his pain, but in the end he still couldn't hold on. ”

It is reported that Aston Villa will continue to assess Khonsa's injury, but for the current Aston Villa, the addition of the centre-back is their first choice in the winter window, as they have already brought in Coutinho as well as Digne. Earlier this month, Tuanzebe ended his loan contract and left the team, with aston Villa currently only Mins and Hauser in the centre-back positions available, although Gerrard had earlier expressed to the team a hope for four centre-backs.

Aston Villa are looking for a short-term contract and then adjusting it to the team's condition in the summer window. It is understood that they are interested in Liverpool defender Joe Gomez, but the player himself does not seem to have any intention of leaving Anfield.

Currently, Hill Swinkel, Josh Finney, Lamar Bogard and Dundee United's new signing Cole Smith will be considered as a substitute for the team, and if Khonsa is unable to play against Everton due to injury, they may be given the opportunity to play for Aston Villa. It is worth mentioning that the 16-year-old Josh Feeney came off the bench in astron Villa's 1-2 defeat to Brentford earlier this month, in which Mins was unable to play due to suspension.
