Jores Okore's agent has hit out at Aston Villa after accusing owner Randy Lerner of giving up on the Premier League basement club.

Okores agent Nikola Jægerfeld Juric is fuming his repeated requests for information about the club's plans for the defender have fallen on deaf ears.

The Danish international stopper, 23, was an unused sub in Villa's 4-0 home thrashing by Chelsea when Eric Black was caretaker.

And Jægerfeld Juric wants answers from the managerless club, owned by American Lerner, if Okore is in their plans for next season.

He stormed: “I've never tried anything like it. It seems as though the owner has thrown the towel.

“It is simply so irresponsible that you cannot get hold of anyone who has responsibility.

“I have tried for 14 days to create a dialogue. Right now, we know not who manages the club and what they want with Jores in the longer term.”

Despite the fiasco, Okore's agent insists the star does not regret joining Villa in June 2013 from Nordsjaelland for £4million.

He added: “No, we do not regret the choice of Aston Villa, for at that time it was under control.

“Manager Paul Lambert promised playing time, and it was the most important thing at the time. Jores also had an amazing time during Tim Sherwood last season.”

Villa dispute Okore's agent's claims and insist he received a reply within two hours to his email on March 30 and that subsequent emails were promptly responded to.Jægerfeld Juric was offered a meeting with caretaker Eric Black but told any further discussions about Okore's future would have to be the decision of the new manager.
