West Ham
eyeing Wright-Phillips
Chelsea chief executive Peter Kenyon
has confirmed the club would be willing to consider an offer
from West Ham for unsettled winger Shaun Wright-Phillips.
Kenyon revealed that the Hammers had already made an
approach for the England international but that the figure
was well below Chelsea's valuation.
West Ham are thought to be prepared to pay around £10million
- a fee that would shatter the record fee of £7.25million
they paid to land Dean Ashton from Norwich in January.
The Hammers will have money to spend in the January transfer
market following the takeover of the club by Icelanders
Eggert Magnusson and Bjorgolfur Gudmundsson but Chelsea want
to recoup a fair proportion of the £21million they paid
Manchester City for the winger in July 2005.
