Aston Villa defender Elmohamady eyes retirement in England

Aston Villa right-back Ahmed Elmohamady said he is aiming to become the first Egyptian footballer to retire in England after spending a decade in the country.

The defender left Egyptian Premier League outfit ENPPI in 2010 to begin his European sojourn at Sunderland after a successful trial.

Elmohamady had an impressive debut campaign in the Premier League, appearing in all but two of the Black Cats' league games in the 2010-11 season.
