Arsenal and Tottenham are reportedly two of several teams interested in signing Manchester United midfielder Tom Cleverley, according to Sky Sports.
The 25-year-old is currently on a season-long loan at Aston Villa and will be available on a free transfer this summer.
The Claret and Blue are also said to be interested in making Cleverley’s deal a permanent on. Cleverley has made 31 appearances in all competitions for the West Midlands outfit.
Everton and West Ham have also been linked to a move for the United academy product. The midfielder has been apart of the United ranks since 2000 and is a one time Premier League champion with the club. But since joining the team, he has been out on loan quite a few times before with Leicester, Watford, and Wigan.
Cleverley has struggled at Manchester United as he has not lived up to the “next Paul Scholes” praise heaped on him by former manager Sir Alex Ferguson. Still looking for his first goal with Villa, he believes under new manager Tim Sherwood his confidence will be re-instilled.
“He’s brought belief and a bounce into people’s strides. That’s no disrespect to Paul Lambert, I liked him,” he explained.
“Tim has given people confidence and made everyone feel a part of it. The manager wants all the lads to be more positive.
“He has the mindset that winning one and losing one is better than drawing two. He likes to play football with a bit of a gamble and it’s certainly paying off.
“Around January, I wasn’t pleased with my form. I didn’t do myself justice, but now I feel like I am getting back into a good rhythm.”
Everton and West Ham are other Premier League clubs reported to be interested in the player, who has made 13 appearance for the England senior side.
Clubs from Spain, Italy, and Germany has also been said to be set to offer Cleverley a contract in the summer.
