Aston Villa midfielder Idrissa Gana Gueye wants Premier League stay

Aston Villa midfielder Idrissa Gana Gueye wants to stay in England next season.

The Daily Mail says Gueye is represented by Mark McKay of ExcelFoot, who helped West Ham sign Dimitri Payet from Marseille, and wants to find another club in the Premier League following Villa's relegation.

Despite, Villa's disappointing season Gueye returned some impressive individual statistics particularly with interceptions and tackles, comparing favourably with Leicester City's N'Golo Kante.

The 26-year-old has a release clause set at £7.1million and Marseille are keen to take him back to France.
