Villa, Spurs and Liverpool in for Neil Eardley

Oldham's highly-rated right-back Neil Eardley is subject to speculation this morning and if you believe what you read it's not just Villa showing an interest.

Eardley is 18 years old and made his debut for Oldham at 17 in the match against Scunthorpe United. The good news is he plays right back so maybe Mark Delaney will be heading out at the end of this season.

Liverpool have apparently been scouting the player for some months and Spurs are the latest team to be linked simply because they're linked with all young talent these days.
