Marc Albrighton today claimed Villa never offered him a new deal before they released him.

The winger signed for Leicester on a four-year contract last month after being allowed to leave.

Boss Paul Lambert had previously said Villa were confident of sealing a deal – but Albrighton insists he didn't get an offer.

"Having been at Villa for 16 years it's going to be weird and strange to make that change, but it was a decision made by the club," he said.

"They said they didn't want my services any more but I don't hold anything against them.

"I wasn't expecting a massive bumper deal from Villa but, if I'm honest, I was expecting something."
