Three-way battle for Koumas

Last updated : 04 June 2007 By Martin Aston

The 27-year-old is reassessing his future after the Baggies lost out to Derby in the play-offs and Martin O'Neill has reignited an interest that has simmered for a couple of seasons. "I've known about Aston Villa's interest. I'll have a break and decide what I'm going to do in a couple of weeks," said the Wales international, who has enjoyed an excellent season at The Hawthorns and would command a fee of around £4.5m. "I've got a lot of thinking to do," he admitted. "I'll have a meeting with the manager and the chairman and see what is happening." Celtic and Everton have both expressed their interest and expect Boro to follow suit.
