Chelsea and Liverpool both chasing Ivorian star – report
Chelsea and Liverpool both want Vitesse Arnhem’s Ivorian striker Wilfried Bony, according to The Sun.
The player’ agent claims Liverpool have made an approach and there is a 50% chance that Bony – dubbed the new Didier Drogba – will be on the move in January.
Meanwhile, Manchester City are keeping a close eye on Raheem Sterling’s contract negotiations at Liverpool, according to the Daily Mail.
It is claimed the Harlesden teenager’s advisers, who say he has not actually been made a concrete offer, are becoming increasingly irritated with Anfield boss Brendan Rodgers and feel he is trying to railroad Sterling into signing a new deal.
City are said to be monitoring the situation and apparently could consider launching a bid in January if his future is not resolved by then.
The Daily Mirror have a similar story, saying the Sterling camp were amazed when Rodgers declared that the player should sign a new contract in what could be seen as an attempt to bully him into agreeing terms.
And The Sun quote a source as saying: “How can Raheem hurry and sign when there isn’t anything to sign?”
