Liverpool striker Rickie Lambert has turned down a move to Aston Villa, Press Association Sport understands.
Villa, who are looking for a new forward to bolster their underperforming front line, are believed to have offered £5million for the England international.
Lambert, 32, has struggled to make an impact since joining his boyhood club last summer but does not appear prepared to give up his Anfield career for Villa Park.
