Manchester City, Tottenham & Arsenal interested in England goalkeeper Scott Loach - report
Arsenal, Manchester City and Tottenham are all interested in England reserve goalkeeper Scott Loach, according to the Daily Mail.
The highly rated Watford shot stopper has twice been drafted into Fabio Capello's squad after injuries and withdrawals. While a move to Spurs in January fell through after Loach wasn't prepared to sit on the bench, Premier League clubs have continued to send scouts to watch him in action.
With Everton and Fulham also eager to promote the 22-year-old from the Championship, he admitted he would be prepared to move if the right opportunity came along.
Speaking to the London Evening Standard, Loach revealed: "I'd definitely have a better chance of getting in the England team if I was playing week in, week out in the Premier League.
"That's where you've got to look, though there's not really an opening anywhere at the moment where I would walk into a team.
"I don't find the idea of stepping up daunting, it's exciting. I believe that if I was to get an opportunity to play at a higher level that I'd be able to step in and do a job as I am confident in my own ability."
Follow all the build-up to another weekend of Premier League action, and keep up to speed with the continued fall out to Fabio Capello's resignation as England manager.
