Liverpool and Tottenham are ready to do battle for the signature of Aston Villa’s Brad Friedel this summer.
Friedel’s contract at Villa Park is due to expire in the coming weeks and unsurprisingly, a number of Premier League clubs are monitoring his situation.
The former American international, who turns 40 later this week, is understood to be open to a move away from Villa and with Liverpool and Tottenham among the clubs interested, it would perhaps be a surprise to see Friedel still plying his trade in the Midlands next season.
The player’s agent, Tony McGill, had this to say when asked about Friedel’s future: “I will be holding talks with Brad next week, once the season has finished and we will then go over his options.”
McGill went onto add: “I have read the newspaper speculation, but we are not going to talk about any clubs until the season has finished.”
Liverpool have been the favourites to sign Friedel for a number of weeks now and given the fact he used to play for the Merseyside club, it is hard to see past a move to Anfield this summer. However, with Spurs boss Harry Redknapp in desperate need of a world class goalkeeper, a move to White Hart Lane may appeal to Friedel more than the switch to Liverpool.

Football clubs may not need to obtain a title loan, but perhaps you do.
