Emile Heskey is considering leaving Aston Villa in a bid to safeguard his place in Capello’s squad for the World Cup finals and Sky Bet make him a 6/4 chance to leave the club during the January transfer window.
The striker is 1/2 to remain at Villa Park beyond the close of the January transfer window, with Fulham and Bolton rated as most likely destinations should he leave. Heskey has started just one Premier League match this season for Villa, who he joined at the start of the year from Wigan. He is quoted at 10/1 to rejoin the Latics.
The former Liverpool forward is aware that his lack of match play could damage his chances of making it to South Africa and Sky Bet go 2/5 that Heskey books his place in Capello’s 23-man squad (7/4 for him to miss out).
Sky Bet are also betting on who will play in goal for England in their first game in South Africa and have cut David James’ odds to 10/11 (from 11/8) after his steady showing against Ukraine.
England are looking to end their qualification campaign on a high and are 1/8 favourites to beat Belarus (12/1, draw 6/1) on Wednesday.
