Everton joined Manchester United, Arsenal and Liverpool in matching Cardiff's £5million asking price, and it is understood all four have now been given permission to open talks with him.

Wanted man: Cardiff City's Aaron Ramsey is being chased by the top Premier League clubs.

United believed they were in pole position but the 17-year-old Welsh midfielder is thought to be torn over where to go.

It is unlikely he will make a decision until next week after Everton scraped together the money, despite continuing uncertainty over how much manager David Moyes will be able to spend this summer.

United have made it clear they would allow Ramsey to spend next season back on loan at Cardiff, while Everton, Arsenal and Liverpool have indicated he would go straight into their first-team squads.
