Ashley Young is set to become the highest earner at Aston Villa.
The Sun says Young is close to signing a new one-year contract extension to make him Aston Villa's top earner on £75,000 a week.
Boss Gerard Houllier was boosted by news Young wanted to put pen to paper last week.
The club fought off interest from today's opponents Tottenham during the transfer window. And now chief executive Paul Faulkner and the player's representatives have reached agreement on a £10,000-a-week wage rise in a deal that will keep the England star at Villa Park until 2013.
