Agbonlahor: I’m at Villa for life

Gabriel Agbonlahor insists there is no club in the world which could lure him away from Premier League outfit Aston Villa.

The 25-year-old striker came through the club’s youth academy and says other teams should not even bother putting in bids for him as he will not consider a move away from Villa Park.

“I think other clubs know how much I love playing for Villa. I don’t think there’s ever been a bid for me,” he said.

“They know this is a club I want to stay at and it’s somewhere it would be hard to get me to leave.

“It’s the same at other clubs who have players who are that club through and through - like Steven Gerrard at Liverpool.

“They don’t put bids in for us because they know we won’t leave.”

While the bids may not be coming in for the England international, he admitted team-mate Darren Bent is the subject of speculation, but insists his strike partner wants to remain with him at Villa.

“To be fair to Darren, he’s just got on with his football, got another goal last week, and all he can do is concentrate on his games here,” added Agbonlahor.

“It’s crazy the number of transfer rumours you see. If you listen to rumours, we’d be buying 10 players.

“Liverpool are maybe looking for another striker with Luis Suarez banned so top-quality players are going to be linked with them.”
