Football Transfer Rumours - Oct-14-2009

Wigan are weighing up a move for Aston Villa's Emile Heskey, who left the Latics last January. Heskey is keen to secure first-team football in order to cement his England World Cup place.

Blackburn and Sunderland are both keen on Stromgodset's £2m-rated Norwegian striker Marcus Pedersen.

Manchester City and Spanish side Real Madrid will battle it out in the summer for Bayern Munich's £65m-rated Franck Ribery.

Manchester City may use Robinho as bait to land Barcelona defender Eric Abidal.

Barcelona could offer centre-back Carles Puyol or midfielder Yaya Toure as part of the deal for Robinho.

Manchester City forward Robinho will ask for a January move if he fails to win first-team football at Eastlands. Barcelona are ready to make a £32.5m offer.

Tottenham are prepared to listen to Italian club AC Milan about a potential swap deal involving Spurs striker Roman Pavlyuchenko and Dutch forward Klaas-Jan Huntelaar.
