Aston Villa are ready to offload Gabriel Agbonlahor this summer as the club prepare for the Championship.

Agbonlahor, who has two years remaining on his contract, is set to become a high-profile departure at the end of the season, with Villa keen to shift his £54,000 a week salary off the wage bill.

The forward has escaped punishment after an internal investigation into his behaviour while on holiday in Dubai, when he was pictured with a shisha pipe.
