Reo-Coker wants out of Aston Villa

Nigel Reo-Coker is ready to leave Aston Villa.

The Mirror says Reo-Coker is stepping up his efforts to quit Aston Villa after his latest axing.

Midfielder Reo-Coker, 25, skippered Villa to a 5-1 win over Bolton when Stiliyan Petrov was suspended.

But the star was the only change at the weekend as he was dropped at Burnley to make way for Petrov after the Bulgarian served his ban.

And he fears his training ground bust-up with boss Martin O’Neill earlier this season is still counting against him.
