Agbonlahor set to leave as Aston Villa rival Everton and Sunderland for replacement

GARBRIEL AGBONLAHOR is reportedly set to join Turkish club Kayserispor.

 

Gabriel Agbonlahor is reportedly set to leave Aston Villa

 

The forward, 29, has lost his place in the Aston Villa squad this season.

He hasn't played since 5 December and The Daily Mail claim a move to Turkey is on the cards.

Villa sit rock bottom of the Premier League, having scored just 18 goals all campaign.

 

They are in search of a striker and it is claimed Agbonlahor could be replaced by Bordeaux’s Wahbi Khazri, who is also wanted by Everton and Sunderland.

Attacking midfielder Khazri, 24, has scored just once for Bordeaux since September.

The Tunisia international has already picked up 10 yellow cards and a red representing club and country this season.

 

Everton are claimed to have been tracking Khazri for a few months and have yet to make any signings this January.

Manager Roberto Martinez is also said to be chasing Sporting Lisbon ace Islam Slimani after failing to land Andros Townsend, who joined Newcastle from Tottenham earlier this week.

As for Sunderland, manager Sam Allardyce has swiftly turned to Khazri after Swansea refused to sell Andre Ayew to the Black Cats.

 

Sunderland offered £10m for the Swans midfield ace and are likely to land Khazri on a cheaper deal if they beat Villa and Everton to the table.

They are also said to be in for Leeds defender Sol Bamba, who is available for around £2m.
