Lindelöf extends Villa stay

Aston Villa is delighted to announce that Victor Lindelöf will remain at the club until 2028, with the club exercising an option to extend his existing contract by a further year.

The defender is approaching 50 appearances in claret and blue after joining Villa in 2025.

Lindelöf played a pivotal role in Villa's UEFA Europa League triumph during his first season at the club, starring in the 3-0 victory over SC Freiburg in the final in Istanbul.

Since arriving at Villa Park, he has established himself as a key figure at the heart of the defence while continuing to captain the Sweden national team on the international stage.
