Gabby Agbonlahor is heading for the Aston Villa exit, with his 17-year association with the club coming to an end.

Agbonlahor will be out of contract in the summer and Villa are set to offload the £25,000 a week striker regardless of which division they find themselves operating in next season.

The former England international has only scored twice since Villa’s demotion to the Championship, which means he has effectively earned £1.3m per goal.

And though Villa insist no decision on the futures of players will be made until the end of the season, sources say Agbonlahor’s career at the club is over.

It is understood the 31-year-old is already considering whether to relaunch his career overseas in Major League Soccer.

The club’s record Premier League scorer, Agbonlahor enjoyed arguably his best period under Martin O’Neill between 2007 and 2010, helping his hometown club to three consecutive sixth-place finishes.
