“The Aston Villa job, for sure, is one that would interest him,” Redknapp divulged.

“But the job is up for grabs and there will be plenty of people interested. Villa is a great club.

“Norwich is also a smashing club run by good people. So they’re two good jobs for somebody," he added.

Lampard has been without a job since January 2021 when he was sacked at Chelsea after a string of poor results.

At the time, the former England international was fresh into management, with his only experience coming a Derby County who he nearly helped earn promotion to the Premier League.
