WIGAN: Wigan manager Steve Bruce has told Chelsea boss Luiz Felipe Scolari to forget about signing Egypt striker Amr Zaki.
Zaki has caught Scolari s eye after scoring eight times in the Premier League since joining on loan from Zamalek and the Blues have been linked with a big-money bid when the transfer window reopens in January.
But Bruce is determined to keep the 25-year-old and insists he will remain at the JJB Stadium for the rest of the season.
It does become a bit repetitive and boring, Bruce said. It is Chelsea this week, Real Madrid last week, Liverpool the week before, Man City before that.
I think the whole thing needs to be addressed really. He is ours for the rest of the season.
I know he has done well, but he s missed the last month (with injury) and he needs to make sure he starts playing and gets in our team – because that won t be easy for him either.
All of this nonsense around him, I do believe gets to him a little bit. But I can t stop this constant speculation about Zaki. -AFP
