​Aston Villa boss Gerrard set to make decision on Archer loan future

 


Aston Villa manager Steven Gerrard is set to inform Cameron Archer about his future in the coming days.

Gerrard is considering loaning out Archer, but is still tempted to keep him around the first team this season.

According to Birmingham Live, 14 clubs have shown interest in taking him on loan.

He was impressive in the Carabao Cup last season, scoring four in two games, along with six goals in the EFL Trophy for Villa's youngsters.

Archer also spent time on loan at Preston last season, scoring seven goals in 20 games for North End.

After a recent pre-season game, manager Gerrard said: "Cam showed everything that Cam's about, movement, quality, could have a hat-trick but for a few good blocks but, again with Cam, if you don't let me leave the room and I'd have to make a decision now, he'd be staying in the door."
