Marlon Harewood's agent reckons the striker may remain at Aston Villa this summer as Martin O'Neill is less than keen to let him leave.
Harewood's agent Phil Sproson admits it is likely the former West Ham star will join one of those clubs should Villa allow him to leave, but he is unsure of whether that will be this summer.
"If Marlon ever became available then I'm sure he'd probably link up with one of them," Sproson told BBC WM.
"He's going nowhere at the moment but, when the time is right, and it might be this time next year, then there's going to be four or five clubs who'd be in."
"There'll be plenty of interest in Marlon when the time's right for him to move."
Harewood himself is believed to favour a move away after just one start in his first season at Villa Park, but Sproson says his client is aware of the tough competition for places at the club.
"He's at a top eight club in the country and that comes with its own price really, and he recognises that," said Sproson.
"There'll be plenty of interest for Marlon Harewood when the time's right for him to move, and maybe it's not quite right at the moment for Villa."
