Gabby Agbonlahor claims Matt Targett will not be missed at Aston Villa and his move to Newcastle United “suits all parties”. The 26-year-old solved the Magpies’ left-back crisis when he arrived on loan in January, playing all but once - the 1-0 victory against his parent club - as Premier League survival was secured.
A five-month stint was made permanent a fortnight ago, with Newcastle stumping up £12million for the former Villa man. Targett made his desire for a move clear to Steven Gerrard following the arrival of Lucas Digne from Everton.
The Villans stumped up £25million to sign the Frenchman, forcing Targett to pursue a loan move. Former striker Agbonlahor thinks Steven Gerrard did not rate the now Newcastle defender.
