Anwar heads off.

"First of all I want to say THANK YOU Aston Villa and their supporters for the amazing 4 years and the opportunity to play for this fantastic club.

"I will never forget the beautiful moments I have had here. 27-05-2019 is one of them - one of the best days of my life to score at Wembley and helping the club coming back to the Premier League. I would also like to thank everyone at the club behind the scenes for taking care of me and my family.

"It’s time for me now to say goodbye. I will miss my Brummies but I am proud to say I am bringing a new Brummie back home with me. I wish nothing but the best for the club, the players and the fans!"

Treated abominably by Gerrard, Anwar is a Villa boy to the end.

Best of luck Anwar, you deserved more.
