Aston Villa rock Premiership with £30M spending spree

Aston Villa are set to rock the Premiership with a £30 million spending spree on their top-flight rivals.

The Daily Mail says American billionaire owner Randy Lerner is ready to give Villa manager Martin O'Neill full backing to land his four targets: Jermain Defoe, Shaun Wright-Phillips, Nigel Reo-Coker and Jussi Jaaskelainen.

Spurs striker Defoe and Chelsea winger Wright Phillips are available for £10m each.

And with Reo-Coker closing in on an £8m switch from West Ham, Bolton keeper Jaaskelainen remains the last big target at £3.5m.
