LFC In For Villa

David Villa is definitely coming to the Premier League this summer, and Arsenal, Tottenham and Liverpool are all in for the Barcelona striker.

Spain international Villa has told his advisers he wants a move to England and has now been given the green light by ­Barca to negotiate a deal.

The 31-year-old wants regular first-team football in what will be World Cup year and can leave the Nou Camp for £12million.

Arsenal, who were keen on Villa in January, are the only ones of the three Prem heavyweights who can offer him Champions League football next season, but he is no longer top of the Gunners' striker shopping-list.

Tottenham boss Andre Villas-Boas knows Villa personally and has been in touch.

The White Hart Lane club are also offering the best financial package, but their failure to get into the ­Champions League may cost them.

LFC Want David Villa

Brendan Rodgers has reignited his interest in Barcelona striker David Villa.

The Reds boss hopes he may be able to land Villa for a knockdown fee after failing in a bid to take the Spaniard on loan in January. Villa is unhappy with playing a bit-part role for Barca and may be pushed back ­further if the club ­complete the signing of Neymar.

Barca Want Permanent Deal

Liverpool have reportedly had a loan move for David Villa rejected, with Barcelona insisting on a permanent deal for the Spain striker.

The 31-year-old has fallen down the pecking order at the Nou Camp and is keen on a move away, with the Premier League rumoured to be his preferred destination.

Reds boss Brendan Rodgers is keen to bolster his forward line in January to provide support for Luis Suarez, who is the club's only fit senior striker.

A deal for Chelsea forward Daniel Sturridge is close to being wrapped up and it appears Rodgers is ready to add Villa to his squad as well.

However, while the Reds would prefer a loan move for the former Valencia hit-man, Barcelona will only entertain a permanent deal.
