da betobet： Paul Lambert has said Gabriel Agbonlahor will have to wait to open talks over a new contract at Aston Villa, reports the Birmingham Mail.
da betsson： Agbonlahor’s contract expires in the summer of 2015, and Villa’s current longest serving player has admitted he would love to sign an extension and see out his career at Villa Park.
The forward was last handed a new contract by former Villa boss Gerard Houllier in November 2010, and while he still has a year and half to run on that deal, Agbonlahor has made no secret of his desire to sign an extension at his boyhood club.
Agbonlahor has said he would gladly play at Villa until he retires, claiming it would be ‘weird’ to wear the colours of any other club.
However, manager Paul Lambert is reluctant to open discussions over a new deal just yet, claiming there is no rush to secure the striker’s future.
“When you look at 15 months it’s still a long time in football,” Lambert said.
“In years gone by you used to never find out what was happening to you until about a week before the end of the season.
“Then all of a sudden it goes full circle and it’s 15 months or two years. It’s just strange in football.
“I understand what he’s saying but I think there’s a long, long way to go before anything like that. I think he’s enjoying his football.
“I think you look at all these sort of things at the end of the season, for everybody.”
