TRANSFER GOSSIP

Manchester United target Wesley Sneijder has warned Inter Milan he has plenty of options available should he fail to agree a new contract with the Italian club.


As well as United, Manchester City are also in the race for Sneijder's signature.

But the Old Trafford club have been warned off making a move for goalkeeper Allan McGregor by his club Rangers.

Aston Villa are monitoring the availability of Tottenham striker Robbie Keane following reports the Republic of Ireland international has had a bust-up with Spurs boss Harry Redknapp.

Chelsea are interested in signing Sunderland midfielder Jordan Henderson.


Arsenal are continuing to track Ipswich striker Connor Wickham, even though the 17-year-old has been struggling to make an impression this season following an injury.


The Gunners are also readying a move for Everton midfielder Steven Pienaar, who is out of contract next summer.


Everton are lining up a bid for Belgium striker Jelle Vossen. The 21-year-old is valued at £5m by his team, Genk.


Birmingham are ready to challenge Napoli for the services of Schake's Croatian midfielder Ivan Rakitic.


Wigan are set to reignite their interest in Jason Roberts and battle Leicester for his signature in the January transfer window.


Avram Grant is tracking Lucerne's young Swiss striker Janko Pacar as he prepares to spend in January to bolster his West Ham attack.


Another striker being linked with the Hammers is Hapoel Tel Aviv's Itay Shechter, who scored 31 goals in all competitions last season.


OTHER GOSSIP

Aston Villa manager Gerard Houllier says striker Emile Heskey is as good as Chelsea frontman Didier Drogba but "sometimes forgets how good he can be".


Wolves defender Kevin Foley believes the club have developed a siege mentality after claiming critics, such as Fulham midfielder Danny Murphy, are "ganging up" on them on the issue of over-physical tackling.


Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini has warned midfielder Nigel de Jong he will receive extra scrutiny from referees in the wake of the tackle that broke Newcastle midfielder Hatem Ben Arfa's leg and the subsequent public debate on overly physical challenges.


Manchester United defender Patrice Evra believes Manchester United must re-discover their ability to control games if they are to succeed this season. United have dropped eight points after four away draws so far this campaign.


Sunderland midfielder Jordan Henderson could get a shock call-up to the England squad for the friendly against France in November after the 20-year-old impressed national coach Fabio Capello.
Full story: Daily Mail First Minister Alex Salmond has vowed to bang heads together within a month to help create one body to rule Scottish football after talking to predecessor Henry McLeish about his report into the sport.

Andrius Velicka, the Lithuanian striker yet to make an appearance for Aberdeen since joining on loan from Rangers, has been sent to a special fitness camp.

Livingston chairman Gordon McDougall does not want Dundee to suffer the same fate as his club in 2009 by being demoted to the Third Division after going into administration.

AND FINALLY

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has admitted that he sometimes lies to the press about his players - but only to protect them. Wenger, who takes charge of his 800th Gunners match on Saturday, insisted that he always consults his players first to get the story straight. "If you're asking me if I've lied to the press to protect a player, I must say yes. I didn't feel comfortable afterwards, but I've a clear conscience," he stated.
