Aston Villa urged to upgrade on 31-year-old instead of offering him a new deal

Aston Villa defender Lucas Digne has been linked with a contract extension at the West Midlands club.

His current contract expires in 2026 and there have been rumours that 31-year-olds could be offered a new deal at the club.

However, Bryan King has now revealed that the French fullback is not good enough and Aston Villa should be looking for somebody younger with more potential.

“I would think that Villa will be looking for somebody younger, that is for sure,” King said to Aston Villa News.
