England manager Fabio Capello admits he likes seeing striker Emile Heskey at Aston Villa.

Capello said that it is a good move to play at a quality club amongst quality players and is excited about the prospects of having a fit and firing Heskey for his England squad.

"I followed Heskey at Wigan," said Capello. "I have spoken with Steve Bruce about him.

"But it is important for national players to play for a team at a high level and I think it is good for Heskey to play with Gabriel Agbonlahor and Ashley Young in a good team who are so high in the table.

"It is exciting for Aston Villa and for Emile."
