Villa linked with £30m spree

Top of the list, according to the rabblerousing Daily Mail, is perma-linked Nigel Reo-Coker, but Jermain Defoe, Shaun Wright-Phillips and Jussi Jaaskelainen have also been earmarked for a potential £30m spree. Defoe and Wright-Phillips are said to be available for £10m each, while Reo-Coker is thought to be close to an £8m move and Jaaskelainen would cost an estimated £3m. The Finnish keeper is newest to the wish list and would certainly be a welcome arrival at Villa Park, with his availability probably dependant on Bolton manager Sammy Lee being successful in a bid to sign Jerzy Dudek from Liverpool.
