Aston Villa will take into consideration the vaccination status of players when assessing January transfer targets, Steven Gerrard has confirmed. The Villa boss has also put on record his praise for Johan Lange – the club’s sporting director – who plays a key role in recruitment.
Steven Gerrard said: “We are very thorough and detailed in terms of our recruitment process. I’ve been really impressed with Johan [Lange, the sporting director] and the guys around him in recruitment and scouting in terms of the details and work I’ve seen so far. We look at everything. So I’m sure it will come up. But we’ll obviously make decisions as and when we decide a certain person is the one who could come in and make us better. We’ll go across it with a fine-toothed comb. But I don’t think it’s right for me to comment on if I would or wouldn’t in that situation. But it would certainly come into conversations in the background.”
