According to various reports, Aston Villa are set to announce quintet of new contracts, with five players set to join Victor Lindelof in extending their time at Villa Park.
According to reports from both John Percy via the Telegraph and Jacob Tanswell via the Athletic, Aston Villa have agreed new deals for a number of their first team players.
The Premier League side announced on Tuesday that Sweden international Victor Lindelof had his contract extended to 2028, in what is expected to be the first of many to sign new contracts with the club.
It is said in the reports that new contracts for Ian Maatsen and George Hemmings have been verbally agreed, while Emiliano Buendia, Ross Barkley and Amadou Onana are all also expected to sign new deals with the club.
Hemmings, 19, joined Aston Villa from Nottingham Forest in 2023, initially featuring for the Villans' youth ranks.
He made his debut for the club in the 2025/26 season, coming on as a late substitute in Villa's loss at Arsenal in december, but has made his breakthrough into the first team this campaign.
So far, Hemmings has featured in six of Villa's 10 Premier League matches - starting five of them - as well as featuring in two UEFA Champions League matches.
Maatsen has had an inconsistent start to his Villa career, having joined the club for £37m in 2024, but has become a mainstay this term following the departure of Lucas Digne to PSG in the summer.
The Dutchman, 24, had been the subject of reported interest from Manchester United in the prior transfer window, but now appears to have opted to remain at Villa Park.
Experienced professionals Emiliano Buendia and Ross Barkley both had contracts set to expire at the end of the current campaign, but - given the overhaul in the summer - the Villans are keen to retain a core of their longer serving players.
Buendia was central to Aston Villa's UEFA Europa League win last season, scoring a worldie of a goal in the final to put his side two goals ahead, while Barkley has had a strong start to the new season, having already notched three UEFA Champions League goals in the first four matches.
Onana - who is currently unavailable due to an ACL injury sustained at the 2026 World Cup - is the most surprising name to be linked with a new contract at Villa Park, though he would be entering the final two years of his existing deal in the summer.
Alongside Barkley and Buendia, both long-serving defender Tyrone Mings and back-up goalkeeper Marco Bizot currently have contracts expiring in 2027, though there is currently no news regarding either of their futures at Villa Park.
