      Host of Premier League clubs looking at Cahill

      Tim Cahill looks set to be back in the Premier League soon claims foxsports.com.  It was thought that a move to Everton was most likely however several clubs now appear keen to sign the 33-year-old Austrailian midfielder.  Sunderland, Newcastle, Tottenham and Queens Park Rangers are looking to provide a home for the former Everton and Millwall player.

      The New York Red Bulls player appeared fourteen times in the MLS this season scoring once.  He played at Goodison Park for eight seasons and scored 56 times in all competitions.  He was a firm fans' favourite and reluctantly left for New York last summer for £1 million.  Perhaps he'll be terrorising English corner flags again as the off-season American influx begins.

      It seems at the moment that the off-season break in America is an enormous shop window for the players.  In fact I'm beginning to feel a little sad for any players left who play for an MLS club but haven't been talked about in connection with a move to the Premiership.  It reminds me of the boys who were last to be picked for football at lunchtime when I was at school.  Perhaps as we speak team members of Houston Dynamo and Real Salt Lake are skulking around near the mobile classrooms trying to catch the eye of one of the team captains.  Good luck to them, the selection process was tough where I went to school.
