Villa closer to signing Scott Carson

Published 00:00 19/05/08 By By Mirror.co.uk

Scott Carson has edged a step closer to leaving Liverpool after Rafa Benitez agreed to drop his £10million asking price to around £6m - with Villa set to land him full-time.

Villa boss Martin O'Neill has already spent £1.75m on Carson as part of the loan arrangement that took him to Villa Park for the season.

Another man leaving Anfield is Harry Kewell, set to be Pompey manager Harry Redknapp's first signing since winning the FA Cup. Redknapp is lining up a £50,000-a-week deal for the Aussie international.

That could see Pompey star Niko Kranjcar move to Arsenal for £10m.
