Villa launching bid for River Plate sensation Falcao

Aston Villa are launching a £5 million bid for River Plate's Colombian striker Radamel 'Falcao' Garcia Zarate.

Ole says River expect the offer to arrive as early as today for the 21 year-old, who would qualify for a UK work permit as he's a regular with the Colombia national team.

New River coach Diego Simeone is reluctant to part with his star youngster, but Villa's cash offer will prove difficult for the Argentine club to resist.
