Aston Villa ready to let Ahmed Elmohamady leave with Frederic Guilbert taking up his role

Aston Villa defender Ahmed Elmohamady is expected to leave the club at the end of this season.

The experienced full-back will be out of contract in the summer and the Premier League club are not willing to offer him an extension.

The 33-year-old defender has returned to the starting line-up in recent weeks after an injury to Matty Cash and he has struggled with the quality and the intensity of the Premier League.

There is no doubt that the 92-cap Egyptian international has been an impressive servant for the West Midlands club over the years, but he is past his peak and Villa should look to move on this summer.
