ONeill admits Heskey interest

Martin O'Neill has accepted that Emile Heskey is a target for Aston Villa in the January transfer window. Wigan are apparently ready to let their forward leave soon in order to stop him leaving for free on a Bosman transfer in the summer.

Aston Villa are apparently ready to offer 4 million GBP to lure the England international to the club, and Randy Lerner has revealed that funds will be made available to boss Martin O'Neill.

Nothing has been confirmed yet, but O'Neill apparently told club insiders that he would love to partner Emile Heskey with John Carew in his Aston Villa forward line.
