KANCHELSKIS CITY BOUND?

UNSETTLED Russian winger Andrei Kanchelskis has emerged as a target for clubs south of the border, including Bradford City and Manchester City.

The Rangers star has seemingly fallen out with coach Dick Advocaat after he refused to play for the Under-21 team, following an alleged training ground bust-up with Fernando Ricksen.

Kanchelskis` stock is still high in England with many managers still recalling the massive impact he had at Manchester United, and then, to a lesser extent, at Everton.

An ill-fated spell in Italy with Fiorentina would at least have furthered his experience, and he remains a top quality performer on his day.

Jim Jefferies has been linked with a number of players from the Scottish Premier League, and any move for Kanchelskis would re-unite the former Donetsk dribbler with his fellow wide man Lee Sharpe, who was a team-mate at Old Trafford.

It is understood that The Bantams will try and set up a loan move that will bring the player to Valley Parade until the end of the season.

Joe Royle is also a confirmed admirer of the 31-year-old, but he may feel he has other priorities at the moment.
