LIAM Ridgewell will be offered a #2million route out of Aston Villa this summer.

West Ham, Charlton and Derby have all been alerted to the fact that Villa manager Martin O'Neill is looking to revamp his first team squad this summer.

With American owner Randy Lerner providing the funds for new recruits, O'Neill accepts some homegrown youngsters like Ridgewell will be forced out.

The England Under-21 will not be short of offers, with West Ham, if they survive, looking an attractive option.
