TERRY VENABLES could be ready to make a shock move for the out of contract Paul Ince.

The midfielder would add vital experience to an under-achieving, young Leeds squad, in much the same way Gary McAllister inspired Liverpool's treble season.

Toffees wrong for Wright

EVERTON could abandon their interest in Mart Poom and aim for Arsenal's Richard Wright, who does not want to remain David Seaman's under-study.

However, Wright is unlikely to fancy a move up north.

Kev could sell

KEVIN KEEGAN is ready to sell either Nicky Weaver or Carlo Nash, after the arrivals of Peter Schmeichel and Dane Kevin Stuhr-Ellegaard.

Ipswich are believed to have made an enquiry about Nash's availability.

Reid strikes deal

PETER REID is ready to sell Kevin Phillips to Tottenham - but only if he receives Sergei Rebrov as part of the deal.

Reid would expect £8 million plus the Ukranian if striker Phillips is to leave the Stadium of Light.

Matt's Brum deal

MATT Elliott will join former Leicester colleague Robbie Savage at Birmingham before the new Premiership season starts.

The defender does not want to play in the First Division and would be available on the cheap.

Tim

TIM CAHILL will join Aston Villa for £5 million, despite last minute interest from Spurs and Blackburn.

Millwall's 22-year-old Aussie was one of the most impressive midfielders in the First Division last season.

Dino at Bridge

CHELSEA will add to their ranks with the signature of former Italian international Dino Baggio.

The Lazio midfielder is the kind of tough-tackler that is needed at Stamford Bridge.
