Liverpool, Manchester United and Newcastle are all
reported to be battling it out for Athletic Bilbao defender
Fernando Amorebieta.
Reports in Spain claim the Premier League trio are keeping tabs
on the highly-rated centre-back.
All three clubs are believed to have watched the 22-year-old on
a couple of occasions this season as they consider making a move
for his signature in the summer.
Amorebieta, who has a contract with Bilbao until 2011, says he
is flattered by the interest but insists he is no rush to leave San
Mames.
"I'm very happy here and also that people are
noticing me," said Amorebieta.
"It's nice to know people are interested in you."
