Aston Villa boss Martin O’Neill has confirmed the club are to offer James Milner a new deal in the summer.

Milner signed a four-year deal when he joined Villa from Newcastle in the summer of 2008.

The former Leeds ace has enjoyed a fantastic season for Villa this season after being moved into a central midfield role and he is expected to be part of Fabio Capello’s England World Cup squad.

Villa are now ready to tie down Milner to a new long-term bumper deal to ward off potential suitors.

“I said to James couple of months ago that we would sit down in the summer about a new contract, regardless of whether he plays for England or not (at the World Cup),” said O’Neill.
