Hodgson tipped to land Bridge in City exodus
Liverpool manager Roy Hodgson has been tipped to secure the signing of former England international Wayne Bridge in the coming days with sports bookmakers slashing odds on the former Chelsea star arriving at Anfield during the summer transfer window.
Bridge is just one of a number of City stars who look set to face the chop at the Eastlands stadium, with Craig Bellamy, Stephen Ireland, Roque Santa Cruz, Nedum Onouha, and Shaun Wright-Phillips all fighting for their futures under manager Roberto Mancini.
Mancini swooped to sign Serbian international Aleksander Kolarov from Lazio , with the 24-year-old left back expected to start for City next season. Mancini has already signed David Silva, Yaya Toure and Jerome Boateng this summer, with Kolarov's arrival increasing his spending to approximately £75million since the end of last season.
Liverpool manager Roy Hodgson is looking to strengthen his Anfield squad with Fabio Aurelio having left the club on a free transfer, leaving only Emiliano Insua as the only recognized left back in the reds squad.
SKY BET ODDS FOR WAYNE BRIDGE’S NEXT CLUB:
LIVERPOOL – 4/6
TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR – 7/1
ASTON VILLA – 9/1
NEWCASTLE UNITED – 16/1
