Reo-Coker wants out at Aston Villa

Discarded Astron Villa midfielder Nigel Reo-Coker is looking to leave the club in January.

Despite being installed as captain for Villa's 5-1 thumping of Bolton on November 7, just a week later he was the only player axed from the line-up that took on Burnley at Turf Moor on the weekend.

Reo-Coker has experienced a tumultuous time at Villa Park this season, mainly due to his training ground disagreement with manager Martin O'Neill where the 25-year old told his boss to 'f**k off' in September.

It now seems as though Reo-Coker will be out come January with Fulham, Everton and Tottenham all believed to be interested.

A loan deal could also be an option but O'Neill is believed to want cash for the player who signed with Villa for £7.5million from West Ham in 2007.
