Kortney Hause is poised to sign a new contract with Aston Villa as boss Steven Gerrard moves to shore up his defensive options.
The centre-back’s current deal was due to run out at the end of the campaign and earlier this month he had been attracting interest from other Premier League clubs.
Hause stepped in for the second half of Villa’s clash with Manchester United last weekend following an injury to Ezri Konsa, and helped Villa fight back to claim a 2-2 draw from 2-0 down with less than 15 minutes remaining.
