Liverpool are winning their battle with Arsenal
for Shaun Wright-Phillips.
The England winger has been told he can leave Manchester City
for about £7million. But Arsenal are unwilling to pay him more than
the £65,000 a week he earns at City.
That has opened the door for Roy Hodgson to beat Arsene Wenger
again after the Liverpool boss persuaded Joe Cole to move to
Anfield ahead of the Emirates.
Wright-Phillips turned down City's offer of a £10,000-a-week
wage hike at the end of last season.
Roberto Mancini preferred Adam Johnson and Craig Bellamy on the
flanks late last season and will add Aston Villa's James Milner to
his squad this week after also signing David Silva from
Valencia.
