Aston Villa defender Kortney Hause is set to pen a new deal at Villa Park until 2025.

That’s according to reliable reporters Tom Collomosse and Mike McGrath, and, as to be expected, a number of Villa fans have been giving their thoughts to the news on social media.

Hause’s current contract is set to expire in the summer, however, he looks to extend that after Axel Tuanzebe cut his loan spell shirt earlier this month.

Steven Gerrard has just three senior options at centre-back in Hause, Tyrone Mings and Ezri Konsa, with the former of the three making six Premier League appearances this season.

He is in line to start against Everton on Saturday should Konsa miss out due to injury, says, Collomosse, labelling a new deal as ‘imminent’.
