Aston Villa Transfer Rumour: Aston Villa are ready to sign Michael Owen if he decides to leave Newcastle United at the end of the season. Owen has decided to postpone the discussion about his contract extension with the club until they survived in the relegation battle.

It is very unlikely for the England striker to stay though.

Aston Villa plan to partner Owen with Emile Heskey and hopes they can bring their England success to the club level.

If they fail to sign Owen, they will try to sign Tottenham's Darren Bent or Jermaine Defoe.

Chelsea Transfer Rumour - Chelsea, Manchester City, Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspurs has declared their interests to sign Brazillian winger Michel Bastos. He has showed an impressive performance with Lille in the French League this season. Lyon and Bayern Munich are also keen to sign the winger.

He is the club's top league scorer this season. He has scored 11 goals in 27 appearances.

However, he insisted he is happy in France. He just extended his contract until 2012 and keen to stay at the club as long as possible.

In an interview with L’Equipe, he said, "My head is in Lille and nowhere else. I like to enjoy my game and that’s what I do in Lille. I am respected by all the coaches and the players."

He said that he prefers to play first team football regularly and doesn't want to sit on the bench. "I know that I can play a lot here. It’s no use going elsewhere not to play," he added.

Chelsea are looking for young talents and Bastos might fit the bill. Tottenham are also looking for left winger. If they can offer him first-team football, then he will leave Lille. I think every player's dream is to play for big clubs and Bastos is not excluded from that.

For those who haven't seen him plays before, please enjoy the video.

Darren Bent is set to consider his future with Tottenham Hotspur and reportedly considering a move OUT from the White Hart Lane. Darrent Bent failed to get his manager's favour after only managed to start 3 out of last 16 games.

Darren Bent has scored 14 goals this season but still he has not been selected to start for Tottenham. No wonder while he was not selected to play for England last Wednesday. The principle is simple, you must play regular club football to play for the national team.

Bent knows that he might have to leave Tottenham in order to get regular football. In an interview at the FA Umbro Fives Tournament Bent said, "I’m not one of those players who will just sit back and let his career pass him by."

Bent is said to have problem partnering another striker up front. He said: “I’ve spoken to the manager a couple of times about my position but I can only hear the same thing so many times."

Bent defends himself by saying that he has not been given enough time and opportunity to develop strong partnership with Pavlyuchenko. He had played with Berbatov and Keane but none had worked out for him too.

In my opinion, Bent should leave Tottenham Hotspur. He has a great talent and he should find another club where he can develop further more. His scoring tally is more than Rooney's and Heskey's.

Redknapp also did not give Bent enough chances to prove that he is capable to play with other strikers. Aquisition of Keane and Defoe further heaten up the speculation that Bent might leave Tottenham Hotspur this season.
