AEK Athens To Challenge Derby County For Aston Villa Striker Agbonlahor

Out - of - favour Aston Villa striker Gabriel Agbonlahor is being linked with a transfer to AEK Athens in the January transfer window.

The former England international is expected to draw the curtain on his career with The Claret and Blue Army this month, given his lack of first team opportunities since this season started.

Gazzetta.gr says AEK Athens is mulling over a bid for Agbonlahor as well his Aston Villa teammate Charles N’Zogbia.

Clubs in the English Championship led by Derby County and an unnamed team in the United Arab Emirates are all circling for the Anglo - Nigerian.

The 29 - year - old Agbonlahor has been on the books of Aston Villa for more than two decades, coming through the youth ranks before making his professional debut for the club.
