EXCLUSIVE By Wayne Veysey

Aston Villa striker Keinan Davis has turned down multiple offers of a new deal at the club, Football Insider sources understand.

Villa are keen to fend off the growing interest in Davis by tying down the 19-year-old to a new long-term contract.

The teenager still has 18 months to run on his current deal at Villa Park following his arrival inn 2015 from non-league side Biggleswade Town after impressing in a friendly game between the two clubs.

A well-placed source has told Football Insider that Villa have tabled several offers of a new deal to Davis, but as yet the young forward has not agreed to the terms on offer.

This has alerted his long list of suitors, who include the likes of Manchester United, Arsenal and Everton.

Davis has impressed for Villa this season after breaking into the first-team this term and his form has seen him attract interest from other clubs.

The England Under-20 international has scored two goals in 10 Championship appearances under Steve Bruce and his overall displays have caught the eye.

Villa remain confident of agreeing a new deal with Davis, but the longer the contract talks impasses goes on the bigger the danger that the Midlands giants could end up losing one of their prize assets.
