Headers from eager Villa infielders converted their striker's kicks out (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

evicts

'kicks out' is the definition.
(evicting is a kind of kicking out)

'headers from eager villa infielders converted their striker's' is the wordplay.
'headers from' indicates taking the first letters.
The initial letters of 'eager villa infielders converted their strikers' is 'EVICTS'.

(Other definitions for evicts that I've seen before include "Puts out for non-payment of rent" , "What the sheriff does when he asks you to leave home" , "Forces out of a property" , "Put out for non-payment of rent" , "Turns out" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
