City chase Taylor





CITY have lined up a deal to bring in Aston Villa goalkeeper Stuart Taylor as cover for first-choice Shay Given. The Blues are expected to loan England under-21 stopper Joe Hart to Birmingham to give him valuable experience, and Taylor is a dependable, experienced 28-year-old with a Premier League winner's medal from his eight-year spell as understudy at Arsenal. Meanwhile, the signing of Roque Santa Cruz, who does not actually return from holiday until the weekend, may be wrapped up early next week. City will demand a rigorous medical examination for the Blackburn striker following his knee problems last season. Sources on Merseyside also indicate that Joleon Lescott is 'dead keen' on a move to City.
