Arsenal and United fighting to sign Sterling for £15m – report
Arsenal and Manchester United are to fight it out to sign Raheem Sterling for £15m, The Sun claim.
It is suggested that the Harlesden teenager’s contract talks at Liverpool have stalled and United’s Sir Alex Ferguson and Gunners boss Arsene Wenger are both looking to capture him.
Liverpool have stepped up their efforts to agree a new contract with Sterling, according to the Daily Mirror, who say Chelsea and Manchester City are interested and that the Anfield club fear they could lose him.
Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers is said to want Sterling’s future to be resolved soon – possibly by the new year.
Meanwhile, QPR are among the clubs interested in signing former Everton midfielder Tim Cahill on loan from New York Red Bulls, the Daily Mail say.
Sunderland are also said to be keen on the 33-year-old Australian, who is believed to favour a temporary return to Everton.
The Daily Star say Frank Lampard will accept an offer to join QPR if he is left out of Chelsea’s Club World Cup game against Corinthians on Sunday.
The Daily Telegraph have an interview with QPR’s Shaun Wright-Phillips, who feels manager Harry Redknapp can get the best out of him.

Hi all,
We were a bit confused by your comments until we realised that this old item has reappeared on another website, which can happen occasionally.
It was actually published in December, before Raheem signed his contract, and in any case isn’t our news anyway – it was a daily round-up of newspaper speculation we do with the intention of making clear it’s separate from our own news content.
Around the time of the speculation about Raheem our own news stories always suggested he would sign a contract at Liverpool.
Best regards and apologies for any confusion.

Absolute piffle!!! Why is it that every journo wants to undermine LFC? It seems what ever decent player we buy or develop the press want to herd them out to other clubs. Whether these links are true or not they seem to take great pleasure in sensationalising a story. For example the media and fuerguson won’t rest until Suarez has been hounded out of the premier league.
