Manchester City and Tottenham are battling Manchester United for the signature of Everton and England starlet Jack Rodwell.
Roberto Mancini sent scouts to Denmark to watch the midfield schemer, 20, in action against Spain and has been told Rodwell would be a sound investment at £25million.
Spurs boss Harry Redknapp also jetted to Denmark to run a personal check on Rodwell, who played for the last half-hour of the 1-1 draw with the Spaniards.
Rodwell has been a long-term Manchester United target, but Redknapp is trying to muster a young side capable of going for the title.
I don't know why Man City manager won't be contended with the number of players they are presently having.They should not go for any player again for the next five years.
