Liverpool to battle London Clubs for City Winger

The Daily Mail is reporting that Liverpool have joined Arsenal and Tottenham in the race to sign Manchester City and England winger Shaun Wright-Phillips. The Gunners were reportedly favourites to sign the 28 year old but wages are proving a stumbling block as he currently earns £60,000 per week at the City of Manchester Stadium. Wright-Phillips has two years left to run on his City contract but manager Roberto Mancini has deemed him surplus to requirements at the club, and he will not be offered a new deal to stay in Manchester. Harry Redknapp is also said to be keen on the player but Wright Phillips’ wages would also be a problem for Spurs, and so Liverpool could have a shot at the player, although Roy Hodgson would need to raise funds to finance any such move.
