Amid recent rumours linking Raheem Sterling to Aston Villa, Gabby Agbonlahor insisted that the Chelsea winger would flourish under Unai Emery and pushed for the club to secure his signature.
Aston Villa have already been giving the blessing of club legend Gabby Agbonlahor when it comes to their potential signing of Raheem Sterling.winger has found himself out of favour at Stamford Bridge after being left out of the matchday squad in their Premier League opener against his former club, Manchester City.
"I just think, 'why not?'" he told talkSPORT. "You know, Raheem Sterling is 29. We're not talking about someone in their mid-thirties. At the start of last season, we were all saying, how is he not being called up by Gareth Southgate?' Agbonlahor pointed out it's a transfer Villa's existing forward players would be likely to benefit from, particularly given the demands of European football.Villa already boast a number of attacking options including the likes of England Euro 2024 star Ollie Watkins, Leon Bailey and new signings Jhon Duran and Ross Barkley - but Agbonlahor insisted another strong contender could not hurt.
"And he's a player that you're going to need playing in the Champions League now as well, it'll be hard for players to play Tuesday or Wednesday and Saturday, week in, week out."You need that competition for places. And also Rogers is one that I really like. He could play as a number nine as well, if needed, not just off the left.
Sterling is one of a number of players who have not been included in Chelsea's plans for the upcoming season and have subsequently been linked to possible transfers.He was unveiled at Atletico Madrid after a long and complicated summer "The way they're treating players - yes, you can not want a player, but to throw them in a bomb squad and say, you can't use the facilities you've got, you can't come in the canteen, you can't do this, treating them like absolute dirt.
