Bassey may not be the only player Gerrard takes with him to Villa Park.
According to The Scottish Sun, Joe Aribo is also a target for Gerrard and Villa, and Rangers could move to sell the midfielder.
The 25-year-old could well have his head turned by the Premier League, should interest become serious, and his departure could help fund Rangers’ summer business, especially if they don’t land a Champions League spot.
