Craig Gardner

MARTIN O'Neill has revealed he is in the throws of handing new contracts to a clutch of Villa first-teamers.

Olof Mellberg and Thomas Sorensen are in the final year of their deals while Craig Gardner and Luke Moore are set to be rewarded with extended agreements.

O'Neill said: "We are talking to the agents. I've been speaking to Craig Gardner's father about a new contract and Luke Moore as well.

"Moore has got two years left but he has trig-gered off something in his contract that he wants us to have a look at now which I will do.

"I would like to get those two done as quickly as possible and I'd like to speak to Olof's agent and to Thomas's agent," he said.
