Aston Villa manager John Gregory has confirmed the club will not renew David Ginola’s contract next summer.
Frenchman Ginola has not started a Premiership game this season, and Gregory said: ‘‘We will not be taking up the option on David’s services and the player has been informed of our decision.’’
Ginola, who is 35 next month, joined Villa in a £3m switch from Tottenham in July 2000.
