Aston Villa striker Gabriel Agbonlahor expresses his commitment to the club – EPL news
Aston Villa striker http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Gabriel-Agbonlahor-c14288 has revealed that he wants to stay with the Villans for the rest of his career and wishes to captain the team one day.
The 24-year-old recently signed a new five-year contract with the club, which will see him at the Villa Park until the end of the 2015 season. The striker has a dream of becoming the club’s all-time highest goal-scorer, making more than 400 appearances for
the Lions and finishing his career as captain of the club.
Talking to the reporters Agbonlahor said, “I'm committed to the club and that's why I signed a new contract. A number of players have signed long-term contracts because it's where we want to play our football. I've got no reason to go anywhere else. I've
had big achievements in the five years I've been in the first-team squad.”
“Aston Villa means everything really. When you see other players that are linked with other clubs you don't really see my name linked with anywhere else. Other clubs know that this is where I want to play my football,” added the former Watford loanee.
The Birmingham-born striker’s ongoing 2010-11 season has been marred by a host of injury concerns. The striker has managed to play the full 90 minutes on only seven occasions in the Premier League this season and has scored just five goals so far.
The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749 international emerged from the youth ranks of the club and made his debut in an English Premier League game against Everton in 2006. Since then, he has gone on to make 239 appearances for the club and has scored 93 goals. He was rewarded with
an international call-up for his impressive performances with the club in 2008.
The former Sheffield Wednesday loanee added that being a local really helped him because he was a boyhood fan of Aston Villa and knows the importance of playing at the club. Agbonlahor revealed that he loves scoring goals for the club and wants to win more
trophies with Villa in the future.
