Manchester City have agreed a fee in the region of £7million with Leeds United for Robbie Fowler. City boss Kevin Keegan was strongly linked with a move for Fowler over the weekend and it now remains to be seen if personal terms can be agreed with the England striker.
Leeds boss Terry Venables admitted before Saturday's defeat against City at Maine Road that he would have to bring more money in through sales before he could buy during the transfer window.
And although he stressed yesterday that he would prefer to keep Fowler it seems likely that selling him is the price he has to pay to bring in new players. Fowler appeared as a second-half substitute for Leeds during Saturday's 2-1 defeat and got a great reception from the City fans when he was introduced.
