Gabby Agbonlahor’s Aston Villa career is over with club chiefs fuming after he rejected a transfer deadline day move to Reading

GABBY AGBONLAHOR’S Aston Villa career is over    after he snubbed a deadline-day move.

The sulking star, 29, refused to join Reading on loan and fuming Villa chiefs have vowed he will not play for the club again.

It is an open secret within Villa Park the club’s longest-serving player has kicked his last ball for them.

New owner Tony Xia even took to Twitter to slam Agbonlahor, accusing him of failing to  act like a “real man” after snubbing first-team football.

A source close to the club added: “Gabby has condemned himself to spending the next four months in exile, training with the kids.

“It’s fair to say the new owner was not impressed by his lack of ambition.

“He is one of the club’s highest-paid players and seems content with that.

“Now he must be resigned to never playing for Aston Villa again.”

The controversial striker earns £40,000 a week but has infuriated fans after a series of high-profile bust-ups last season.

Agbonlahor has previous of getting into trouble for his activities off the pitch.

Last April, Villa suspended their club captain after he was pictured holding a shisha pipe while partying in Dubai during an international break.

And days later he was suspended AGAIN, this time for  allegedly being snapped with laughing gas as he  partied in London —  the  night Villa were relegated from the Prem.

The then-Villa caretaker manager Eric Black later publicly ripped into Agbonlahor for his poor fitness as fans branded him ‘Flabby Gabby’.

He did return for pre-season in better shape, but did not impress new boss Roberto Di Matteo enough to get selected for any matchday squad so far this season.

STEVE ROUND has been named Villa’s new technical director.
