Manchester City are reported to be the third club expressing an interest in Fabian Wilnis. West Ham and Fulham were both recently linked with the wantaway Dutchman who received words of praise on Sunday from the City boss.

Wilnis recalls: "Kevin Keegan gave me a pat on the back and said I had played well so that was good coming form someone so respected within the game. I know we lost and that was very disappointing but personally it was good for me to get a game and I felt I did quite well, although as a team we did not perform as well as we can."

Wilnis added that he was hoping to join another club before the transfer deadline in March and it appears something is in the pipeline, although he is refusing to give any details.
