Manchester City are set to hand new deals to young duo Micah Richards and Lee Croft.Eastlands boss Stuart Pearce is keen to reward the pair for their progress this season by tying them down to new long-term contracts.
Pearce revealed that they have agreed a deal with winger Croft and that they are set to open talks with FA Cup hero Richards over a contract extension.
"Everything is agreed with Lee Croft financially," said Pearce.
"I have spoken to him and his agent about football matters. He is quite keen to stay here and hopefully he will be signing within the next day or so."
Pearce believes Richards deserves a better contract after breaking into the first team this season.
"I want to call him in and offer him a new contract because I believe he is underpaid for what he has achieved in the reserves," Pearce told the club's official website.
"He has consistently been one of the best players in the reserves side this season."
