Departing Villa striker Heskey hopes to stay in Premier League

Aston Villa striker Emile Heskey hopes to play on in the Premier League next season.

Heskey will leave Villa next month when his contract expires.

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