Tottenham, Arsenal and Manchester City ready to snap up Shay Given

Shay Given is considering his future at Newcastle with Manchester City, Arsenal and Spurs ready to snap up the Republic of Ireland keeper.

His lawyer released a statement last night describing the humiliating 5-1 defeat by Liverpool as "the lowest point of his football career".

Given is also said to be disillusioned at the "turmoil on and off the pitch" at Newcastle, where he has been for 11 years and played for an astonishing nine bosses.

Fans will have plenty of sympathy with Given, 32..

His patience reached breaking point with the Liverpool debacle, in which he made several world-class saves.

Given's solicitor Michael Kennedy admitted his future is up in the air and the likelihood is he will leave Newcastle this month.

He could cost up to £8million and his able deputy Steve Harper would get the chance to be No.1.
