Ashley Young is hoping he has done enough to earn a new long-term contract with Aston Villa.
The 25-year-old winger has made 130 appearances for the Midlands club following a £12million move from Watford in January 2007 but has just 12 months remaining on his existing deal.
"Of course, if it comes about I'm more than happy to stay at the club," he said when asked if a new contract was in the pipeline.
"I'm delighted with how things have gone. I've enjoyed my time here, I've learned a lot since I've come in and I've got a lot more to learn."
Young scored in Monday's 3-2 pre-season victory at Peterborough United and has been pleased with Villa's preparations for the new campaign.
He continued:"The boys are getting their fitness there and it showed here, we're trying to feel our way into it and we'll be looking forward to the start of the season.
"Of course we always set ourselves targets at the start of the season.
"We always look to do better than we did last season. We're going to sit down before the season and hopefully, fingers crossed, we'll do that."Subscribe to Football FanCast News Headlines by Email
