A string of clubs have been alerted by the placing of a top talent on to the market, that talent is also seemingly available for a bargain fee, who will win the race?
Everton are the latest club to be linked with a move for £5m valued Newcastle United winger James Milner.
The 22-year-old has also attracted interest from Middlesbrough and Aston Villa, while Liverpool are also believed to be watching his progress.And though Magpies boss Kevin Keegan rates him, he is under pressure to lower the club’s wage bill this summer, and may be prepared to sacrifice the former Leeds United man.

Whilst Liverpool are obviously in the top four and have Champions League football to offer, the other sides, including Everton, are more likely to offer him a regular first-team spot. James Milner will be keen to try to make it into Fabio Capello’s plans and, in order to do so, he must be playing regularly so who should he pick?
