    .By Jamie Sanderson - 5th January, 2012 inShare.0 0..Victor Moses contract hold up alerts Spurs, Liverpool and Sunderland

    Top Premier League clubs including Tottenham, Liverpool and Sunderland have been the alerted to the availability of Wigan's Victor Moses, after the winger's agent revealed that talks over a new contract have stalled.
    As his stock has continued to rise, Wigan manager Roberto Martinez opened talks over a new deal just over a month ago, but despite initial contact being made, the negotiations have since stalled, much to the frustration of his agent Tony Finnigan.


    'We talked to Wigan about a contract five weeks ago but still haven't seen anything,' he said.


    The news has alerted Moses' many potential suitors, with Finnigan also confirming he's been receiving calls from clubs up and down the country about his much sought after client.


    'My phone goes all the time. Victor's got his admirers out there,' he added.


    One of those admirers is Sunderland boss Martin O'Neill, who is on the look out for new talent in the wide areas, amid speculation that Stephane Sessegnon is unsettled in the North East, and could be on his way out of the Stadium of Light.


    Wigan would be hopeful they could fend off interest from Sunderland, but should Spurs, Liverpool, or even Chelsea, who have all previously scouted Moses, come calling, it would be a different matter.


    A bid of around £8 million would almost certainly convince Martinez to sell, as he plots a January reshuffle of his squad, to aid his sides battle against relegation.

    Does "Speculation" mean Journalism Bullshit as I have seen 3 interviews with Sessegnon over the past few days all where HE says he's happy!!

    Gyan said he was very happy in the NE and wasn't going anywhere... then 3 days later we were all crying into our corn flakes and beers when he ****ed off to the desert.

    I for one hope Sess goes nowhere, as I was a massive fan of his at PSG, and when everyone was saying they wouldn't be bothered if Sess signed - so long as we got Muntari - i was fighting in Sess's corner. He is our biggest asset after Sir Martin and Sir Niall

    Sunderland boss Martin O'Neill has insisted he has had no contact from Arsenal over versatile midfielder Kieran Richardson.


    Reports this week have suggested the former Manchester United man could be a January target for the Gunners, but the Black Cats are yet to receive any approach.

    O'Neill said: "Arsenal have not been in touch with me, I don't know anything about it.

    "I asked the chief executive as well and she said no, there hasn't been anybody in touch yet.

    "But what I have said is that I would keep players informed about what is happening.

    "Obviously, I don't want to rush players to leave the football club. I would rather think about stabilising things here, and hopefully we can try to progress from there.

    "But regardless of whether you are going to be doing business or not, you are going to be linked with players, clubs are going to be linked with some of our players, and at this minute we are hanging in there."

    O'Neill has studiously avoided revealing his own recruitment plans for this month, insisting on the day he was unveiled that a transfer kitty was never discussed during his talks with owner and chairman Ellis Short
