Former Aston Villa midfielder Gareth Barry has backed his ex team mate Emile Heskey, who is growing increasingly frustrated with life at Villa Park and looking for a move elsewhere to enhance his England opportunities in South Africa this summer.
Barry, now at Man City, said: "The World Cup is in the back of everyone's mind so I can understand where Emile is coming from. It's not just Emile, it's that time of year when you want to be playing regularly.
"He has his place in the England team at the moment and won't want anything to change that. Playing regularly for your club can help you cement a place in the England squad.
"Emile has struck a great partnership with Wayne Rooney in the qualifying campaign. His work-rate and the way he plays for the team is second to none.
"Wayne and the other attacking midfielders have thrived playing off him. He's a big part of the England team."
