Aston Villa launch Almunia offer

Aston Villa will make a 3m GBP offer for Manuel Almunia, the Spaniard who has fallen out of favour at Arsenal behind Lukasz Fabianski.

As Aston Villa scour far and wide to find a successor for Brad Friedel, who joined Tottenham at the end of last season on a free transfer, it seems that Alex Mcleish has turned his attention to signing Arsenal's 3rd choice keeper this summer.

Arsene Wenger has told Almunia that he should look for a new club to join if he is hoping for first-team football.
