Aston Villa, Brighton, Burnley, Derby County, Norwich City and Stoke City are reportedly keen on Liverpool’s Kevin Stewart.

According to Sky Sports, Liverpool midfielder Kevin Stewart is set to leave the club this summer – and is wanted by Aston Villa, Brighton and Hove Albion, Burnley, Derby County, Norwich City and Stoke City.
Stewart, 23, came up through the ranks with Tottenham before leaving White Hart Lane in 2013, making a move to Liverpool on a free transfer.
The defensive midfielder has so far been a backup option at Anfield, but has made 20 first-team appearances for the Reds, including seven Premier League games last season.
However, Stewart is looking for more first-team football, and Sky Sports report that he is set to leave Anfield this summer in search of more playing time elsewhere.

It’s claimed that three Premier League clubs – Brighton, Burnley and Stoke – as well as Championship trio Aston Villa, Derby County and Norwich City are all looking to sign Stewart this summer.
Whether Liverpool would be willing to sell Stewart or only loan him out remain to be seen, but after years of sitting on the sidelines at Tottenham and now Liverpool, it’s no surprise that he is looking for first-team football.

A move to Stoke alongside ex-Liverpool team-mate Joe Allen could be appealing, though playing time with Brighton or Burnley could be more realistic, given the midfield options that Mark Hughes has at Stoke.
As an effective defensive midfielder, Stewart could offer competition for Mile Jedinak at Aston Villa, but would also figure to play regularly with Derby or Norwich, meaning Stewart could be spoilt for choice this summer.
