Liverpool set to sign Wright-Phillips from City?

  Liverpool are winning their battle with Arsenal for Shaun Wright-Phillips.

  

  
  

  The England winger has been told he can leave Manchester City for about £7million. But Arsenal are unwilling to pay him more than the £65,000 a week he earns at City.

  That has opened the door for Roy Hodgson to beat Arsene Wenger again after the Liverpool boss persuaded Joe Cole to move to Anfield ahead of the Emirates.

  Wright-Phillips turned down City's offer of a £10,000-a-week wage hike at the end of last season.

  Roberto Mancini preferred Adam Johnson and Craig Bellamy on the flanks late last season and will add Aston Villa's James Milner to his squad this week after also signing David Silva from Valencia.
