Aston Villa are tracking Ghanaian international ace Sully Muntari. The midfield maestro had an outstanding World Cup for Ghana at Germany 2006.

A string of European clubs have been linked with a move for the Udinese star, who reportedly fancies a move to the Premiership.

But Martin O'Neill will have to dig deep for the gifted Ghanian as his current employers have slapped a transfer tag of £7m on the shoulders of Muntari.
