Aston Villa boss Gerrard admits no Luiz talks over new deal

Aston Villa boss Steven Gerrard says they're yet to speak to Douglas Luiz about a new deal.

The Brazil international has just 15 months remaining on his contract and the club must decide whether to offer him a new deal or cash-in on a player signed from Manchester City for £15million three years ago.

Asked about Luiz's situation, he replied: “He's got 12 months left (in the summer). That's where we're at. We haven't analysed that individual's situation in isolation, if you like.

"He's a very good player who's been playing the majority of the games. He's a player we rate very much.

“All of the individuals, we'll speak about from now until the end of the season and we'll deal with each case when needs be but that's certainly not right now."
