Aston Villa are closing in on a new contract for defender Ian Maatsen, who has nailed down his place as Unai Emery's first choice left-back.

The 24-year-old has been a key player for Villa so far this season and the club are keen to tie down his future at Villa Park.

Maatsen's current contract runs until the end of the 2029/30 campaign, but an extension to those terms is close, as part of a deal that could reach 2032.

Emery is a big fan of the Dutchman, and he's personally spoken to the club to request a fresh contract for the former Chelsea man, as per Football Insider.

The move will also end the long-term speculation linking Maatsen with a move to Manchester United as the Red Devils continue their search for a new left-back.

Luke Shaw is set to move on as a free agent in 2027 and former target Lewis Hall has now committed his future to Newcastle United.
