Aston Villa boss Steven Gerrard: Top 10 is the minimum
Steven Gerrard admits a top-half finish is the minimum requirement for Villa this season.
The boss is preparing for his first full campaign in charge and is eager to improve on last year’s underwhelming 14th-place.
Gerrard has been backed in the transfer market with Villa having added five signings so far and he said: “I’ve always embraced pressure, that’s why I went into management. I want to be at clubs that have internal targets. I want to be involved in an ambitious club.
“We want to finish as high as we can in the table. If that means we snatch a European place, fantastic, because we’ve got to reach for the stars, if course we have. But the minimum for me is we’ve got to be operating in the top half of the league.”
Striker Wesley has completed his loan switch to Spanish Second Division club Levante.
