Former Rangers kid Rory Wilson has been offered a new long-term contract at Aston Villa.

The Premier League side want to secure the 18-year-old's future at Villa Park.

The Scotland Under-19s international joined the club in July 2022 from Rangers. 

Now, after continuing his impressive scoring record that earned him the move in the first place, with 36 goals in 42 games at youth level, he looks set to be on course for an improved deal.

Transfer guru Fabrizio Romano states that Villa have offered a five-year contract to Wilson. 

Wilson's current deal expires in the summer of 2025.

Romano wrote on X: "Aston Villa have offered a new five year contract to Rory Wilson. He’s scored 36 goals in 42 games so far this season for club and country; current deal expires in 2025.

"Cross border training compensation will be €270,000 summer 2025, monitored by many clubs."

Meanwhile, Kenny Miller has named his choice for Premiership Player of the Year for the 2023/24 campaign.

The former Rangers striker believes that both Jack Butland and James Tavernier must be in the running for the award. 

The ex-Scotland international is also of the belief that Celtic midfielder Matt O'Riley should be in consideration given his strong form in the first half of the season.

However, it's Hearts forward Lawrence Shankland who gets his vote for the gong, with the pundit opting not to go for a player from one of the Old Firm in a surprise move.

He wrote in the Sunday Mail: "Rangers have two outstanding candidates for Player of the Year, in my opinion. Jack Butland in goal has been nothing short of phenomenal. And he’s joined by James Tavernier who continues to defy logic with his numbers.

"Butland’s been a sensational signing for the club. Not just for his performances on the pitch but also for his leadership skills and personality off it."
