Shaun Wright-Phillips In Transfer Tussle Between Spurs, Liverpool And Arsenal

Arsenal face competition from Tottenham and Liverpool as they try to sign Manchester City winger Shaun Wright-Phillips.

The Gunners were favourites to land the England international for around £6million after opening negotiations but wages are proving a problem.

City want the 28-year-old off their wage bill as he has two years left on his £60,000-a-week deal.

And the player wants a move after falling out with Eastlands boss Roberto Mancini after the club failed to offer him an improved deal.

Liverpool manager Roy Hodgson is hoping the cash-strapped Reds can put a package together.

Spurs boss Harry Redknapp is also interested but it is unlikely his club would match the wages Wright-Phillips is on at City.
