By ANIWednesday, February 17, 2010
LONDON - Manchester City and Chelsea are on alert after Seville striker Luis Fabiano refused to rule out a big-money move to the Premier League.
The Brazilian has been linked with a 15 million pounds switch to England having impressed in Spain.
Fabiano has formed a solid partnership with former Spurs and West Ham striker Fredi Kanoute and scored eight goals in 12 games. But Seville may find it difficult to turn down a big-money offer in the summer.
City has cash to spend and boss Roberto Mancini is keen to bring in another top striker to replace Robinho, who looks set to leave the club for good at the end of the season, The Sun reports.
Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti is also eager to give Didier Drogba and Nicolas Anelka some competition at Stamford Bridge.
“I have a year left on my contract and am happy at Seville. But things can change very quickly,” Fabiano, 29, said.
“I do not want to speak about my future at the moment because we are just thinking about the Champions League and the Spanish league where we still have a lot to play for,” he added. (ANI)
