Aston Villa centre-back Victor Lindelof says he is "very happy" to extend his contract at Villa Park until 2028, adding that it has been "a privilege" to work alongside Unai Emery.

The 32-year-old, who left Manchester United to join Aston Villa on a free transfer in September 2025, has already made 43 appearances and lifted the Europa League trophy in claret and blue.

"I've really enjoyed my time here ever since I signed, so to extend for another year feels great. As I've always said, I'm super happy here," Lindelof told VillaTV.

"It was a good first year and I was obviously super happy to help the club win a big trophy. I'm happy to be part of the history of this club.

"I'm just thinking about winning as many games as possible, trying to go as far as possible in each competition, and trying to secure one of the top spots in the Premier League as well."

On working with Emery, Lindelof added: "He is very demanding. He is very good at bringing out the best in players. It has been a privilege to work with him for this period of time and he is a part of this extension as well.

"I've really enjoyed working with him. I feel like I can express myself on the pitch and I understand the way he wants me to play, so that makes it easy for me."
