  ..Izzet,Savage & Hartson.Transfer Tales (28/04/01)  
 

There are transfer rumours all over the shop today with Muzzy Izzet being touted as a possible target for West Ham and West Midlands rivals Aston Villa.

Villa boss Gregory is reported to be desperate to sign a player that can perform after £9.5million signing Juan Pablo Angel has failed to help the club anywhere nearer to that elusive UEFA Cup place.

Gregory could have some competition from West Ham though with Izzet making no secret of his love for the Hammers who he has supported since he was a boy.

Although Izzet recently tried to calm speculation by saying, "I'm very happy at Leicester but I've heard about the West Ham link and they are my favorite team.

"However, I don't think I'll be allowed to leave Filbert Street. I have no idea what sort of figure it would be but I imagine it would be something very big."

Savage is also on the wanted list with City chairmen John Elsom taking the do or die step of issuing a hands-off warning in an attempt to try and keep clubs away from City's very own Goldylocks.

The midfielder, who joined Leicester for £400,000 in the summer of 1997 from Crewe, has caught the eye again this season with his wholehearted performances.

Celtic are currently said to be favorites for the Welshman's signature and it is not know how Savage would treat the prospect of a reunion with his old boss.
City chairman John Elsom though is desperate to stop the rumours saying, "We know how important he is to our future success."

Finally some good news. Or is it? A report in the News Of The World says that John Hartson could be coming to Leicester in the summer if Coventry get relegated.

The report insisted that Taylor is keen on bringing Hartson to Filbert Street, and is reported be prepared to offer £3million for him.
