Villa deal for hotshot may be matched by Everton & Spurs?
Aston Villa's offer of around £50k per week for two years may be snubbed by Michael Owen if he gets a better offer from Spurs or Everton.
Villa offered Gareth Barry £65k per week to stay and Owen is expecting nearer that amount, which would still involve the former England striker taking virtually a 50% pay cut.
Ashley Young is reportedly the highest wage earner at Villa Park now, on £56k per week.
Spurs, Everton and Roma are also thought to be ready offer lucrative deals to Owen.
