Man City want Skjelbred

Man City want Skjelbred

29 October 2007 - 22:36

Per Cilian Skjelbred is being chased by Man City. Local rivals Man Utd have already been listed as potential suitors for the 20-year-old Rosenborg midfielder, however, it seems Sven-Goran Eriksson is keen to add the youngster to his shopping list in January.

  • Fabrizio Romano updates on Nicolas Jackson's future at Chelsea
  • Man Utd interested in signing Aurelien Tchouameni
  • Skjelbred has appeared once for Norway, and is one of Rosenborg's most prodigious talents.



    Skjelbred's agent Andreas Ekker has denied interest from Man Utd: "I don't know anything about that [United's interest].



    "There will always be interest for a player like Per, but previously interest has come from Germany, Netherlands and Italy."



    However, Man City's scouting network has been keeping a close eye on the development of Skjelbred and matching Rosenborg's asking price of £2.5m is thought to be no stumbling block for the move to England.
