da betobet: Gabriel Agbonlahor does not expect to be the next high-profile departure from the Aston Villa squad.
da pixbet: The striker has seen the talents of James Milner, Ashley Young, Gareth Barry and Stewart Downing leave Villa Park since making his first-team debut aged 19 six-and-a-half years ago. Agbonlahor is now one of the longest-serving players in Paul Lambert’s squad, and he is adamant that his affinity for the club he has served through the junior ranks into the senior set-up is as strong as ever. He told Sky Sports:
“You can never say never, but as long as the club want me here – I’ve got two years and an option for another year – then I will stay. If the club wants to keep me and I’m happy, I will stay at the club for the rest of my career. You can say I haven’t had a move, I haven’t had this or that, but I’m happy to be at Aston Villa. If those players (Milner, Young, Barry, Downing) had been home-grown players, you never know what their choice would have been. For me even if a big club had come in for me, they would have known that I wanted to stay here. It’s different for me.”
