[b]Manchester City were yesterday preparing to hijack Arsenal's bid for Southampton wonderkid Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain. Sportsmail revealed last week that the Gunners were close to agreeing a £5million deal for the winger.
But big-spending City have now made their move to land the 17-year-old. Eastlands football administration officer Brian Marwood has been handed the remit of luring Oxlade-Chamberlain to City and has already made contact with Southampton.
Sources close to the player last night claimed they were expecting Marwood to speak with the teenager's advisers this week. The approach could be a fatal blow to Arsene Wenger's hopes of taking the youngster to the Emirates this month.[b] - Wankers..

Of course, the actual haftime score was 2-0 to Arsenal before they added one more to make it a 3-0 final. But ITV's efforts to bring momentary joy to beleagured West Ham supporters and to drive rash Arsenal supporters to jump out of the nearest window were admirable. - lol..
