Gabby Agbonlahor could be part of the Aston Villa first team next season, according to The Mirror (Transfer Live blog, 18:39pm, Friday, June 8, 2018).

It has been reported that Agbonlahor is not in a rush to move to a club outside of England and does not want to go down to the lower leagues.

Due to Villa’s FFP issues, manager Steve Bruce could be forced to bring back the 31-year-old, despite the Championship club having already released the striker following the end of his contract this summer, according to the report.

Dire situation

Agbonlahor’s performances for Villa in recent seasons have not been great, and there was no surprise to see the Villans letting him leave.

If the striker is recalled to the club and is given a new deal, then it will only highlight just how bad the situation is at Villa Park at the moment.
