Brad Guzan was today warned not to take too long to make a decision on his Villa future as the goalkeeper weighs up the offer of a new contract.
With his current deal set to expire at the end of the season Villa tabled a fresh one for the American, but have yet to receive a response from the player.
The 27-year-old stepped in for first-choice Shay Given for eight games after the Ireland international was injured in December.
He earned rave reviews although Villa boss Alex McLeish immediately restored Given to the starting line-up when he returned to full fitness.
McLeish recognises the keeper will be the target of a number of other clubs and may want to play first-team football elsewhere.
"Will I give him time to consider it? Yes, but it depends on how long though," said McLeish.
*Ireland boss Giovanni Trapattoni has dismissed rumours that Richard Dunne's injury to his collarbone is worse than first feared.
The Italian said: "He told me he will play one or two games before the end of the season."
