Emile Heskey to leave Aston Villa

Emile Heskey confirms that he will depart Aston Villa in the summer.

Emile Heskey has confirmed that he will depart Aston Villa at the end of the season.

The 34-year-old's contract with the club will expire in the summer, and it is understood that he has not been offered to extend his stay.

However, the former England striker is confident that he can still play in the Premier League.

"I haven't got a club, to be honest. Obviously my contract is up so I just take it day by day and see what crops up. I'm 34, I still feel I can play so I don't see why I need to retire just now. There are no contract talks with Villa so I will be looking elsewhere," he told reporters.

"From when I started, I always said I wanted to play at the highest level wherever that might be. You always strive for that."

Heskey joined Villa from Wigan Athletic in 2009.
