Villa boss O'Neill confident landing Liverpool's Riise
tribalfooball.com - October 09, 2007
Aston Villa boss Martin O'Neill is confident of landing Liverpool defender John Arne Riise in January.
The Express & Star says O'Neill thought he had snagged Liverpool's Norwegian international in a £6m deal last summer.
But the move fell through when the Anfield club failed to sign his intended replacement Gabriel Heinze after a bitter war of words with Manchester United.
Riise, who even sold his house in anticipation of a move to the Midlands, is still ready to come and O'Neill is hoping a fresh approach in the new year can do the trick.
