Aston Villa sacked Steven Gerrard in October and appointed Unai Emery as his successor.

Frédéric Guilbert was not relied upon by Gerrard and his situation hasn’t changed in the slightest following the Spaniard’s arrival at Villa Park.

The right-back spent the previous season on loan at RC Strasbourg and returned to his parent club in the summer, but he has not made a single appearance for Aston Villa this season.

Ashley Young and Matty Cash have been preferred ahead of the 28-year-old for the right-back slot.

Foot Mercato have a report on the Frenchman and their title states he ‘will leave’ the Premier League side.

Within the report, it’s said he is indeed ‘on the way out’ and should leave Aston Villa in the winter market.

Guilbert has less than six months left on his contract and his asking price should not be excessive.

It’s claimed ‘everything indicates’ the former Bordeaux man should return to the Ligue 1 in January, but the report doesn’t specify as to which club would take the player.
