Swansea City boss Brendan Rodgers is keen to see Mark Gower sign a new deal.
Gower is currently holding talks with the club over a new contract and Rodgers says the former Southend player thoroughly deserves a new deal.
"He deserves it, discussions have been ongoing and I am sure that they will be completed soon," said Rodgers of the 33-year-old.
"Mark has been brilliant since I've been here, he showed his worth last season and has been exceptional when he has come into the team this season.
"He gives his all every single day and is a player I wanted to ensure we did retain."
