Description
Shaun Wright-Phillips finally agreed to join Chelsea yesterday after the Premiership champions settled on a £21m fee and Manchester City entered the transfer market immediately with the acquisition of the Fulham striker Andy Cole on a one-year deal. While City are understood to be “delighted” with the size of the fee that their chief executive Alistair Mackintosh has secured from Chelsea there is still a lingering sadness at the manner of the 23-year-old’s departure from Manchester.
