PSG midfielder Gini Wijnaldum may be on the cusp of a stunning Premier League return just one year after leaving Liverpool for the French capital. However, the Dutchman will not be returning to Anfield, or even former club Newcastle, but Steven Gerrard's Aston Villa. 

That is according to BirminghamLive, who report that Wijnaldum has been transfer listed for £21m by PSG after failing to transfer his Reds from over to life in Ligue 1. Wijnaldum has made 28 appearances for PSG so far this season, scoring three goals and providing two assists. While the midfielder was never prolific for Liverpool, his energy and tactical understanding were more highly valued than they have been in Paris.
