Fabian Delph has told Villa fans he is keen to get his claret and blue future resolved by signing a new contract at the club.

Delph is entering the final year of his current deal and the 24-year-old supporters’ player-of-the-season for 2013-14 wants to stay at Villa Park.

Following chairman Randy Lerner’s decision to put Villa up for sale at the end of last season, Delph’s talks were put on hold, along with those of Ron Vlaar and Gabby Agbonlahor, who also have just 12 months left.

Delph was on a panel of players who, along with manager Paul Lambert, spoke to supporters at a meet and greet session ahead of training at FC Dallas’ Toyota Park during the club’s pre-season tour to Texas.

Asked by supporters to clarify his future, Delph told fans that he was ready to extend his stay at the club he joined in August 2009 and was hopeful of signing a new deal.

Antonio Luna is set to leave Villa after Lambert confirmed the Spanish left-back was left out of the U.S. trip because he is on the verge of joining another club, believed to be Hellas Verona of Serie A.

Aleksandar Tonev was also omitted from the travelling squad for the two-match trip to Texas, with Lambert saying the Bulgarian winger is nursing an injury.
