Carles Gil admits he is keen to stay at current club Deportivo La Coruna and will return to Aston Villa this summer hoping to strike a deal.

Gil has been enjoying his time back in his homeland with Deportivo and helped them secure a famous 2-1 win over La Liga champions Barcelona at the weekend.

Fans are keen to see the creative Spaniard return to Villa Park next season and help the club’s assault on the Championship - but he appears less willing.

The 24-year-old joined from Valencia in 2015 and has pulled on the famous claret and blue jersey 34 times.

Gil linked up with Deportivo in the summer and has assisted four goals in 14 La Liga outings.

Speaking to Marca , Gil outlined his desire to make his temporary switch to Estadio Riazor a permanent one.

“The first thing is to talk to Aston Villa. Here I am very happy, but now the priority is to achieve the goal of salvation. I hope I can stay.”
