Aston Villa boss Martin O’Neill has revealed that the club will offer James Milner a new contract in the summer. The former Newcastle United player has been impressive all season for the Villians and O’Neill wants to keep Milner contracted to the club for a longer period of time.

Milner signed a four year deal with Villa when he signed in the summer of 2008. After signing for the Midlands club, Milner has grown from strength to strength and is expected to be a part of Capello’s squad for the 2010 World Cup. He has represented Villa 63 times scoring 8 goals. Villa are wanting to offer Milner a new deal to ward off potential suitors. Milner has made a seamless transition into central midfield where he has been playing for the last few weeks. Visit Partybets for Aston Villa’s betting odds for their next game.

Villa are also looking to bring in reinforcements over the summer. They are particularly interested in Ivory Coast winger Kader Keita who plays for Galatasaray. Keita joined the Turkish club from Lyon last summer in spite of Everton showing considerable interest. The 23-year old has become a huge fans favourite at Galatasaray but a switch to the Premier League can’t be ruled out. Arsenal, Everton, Villa and Manchester City are all interested in his signature.
