Eriksson wants former stars SWP, Anelka at Man City

Sven Goran Eriksson wants to bring two former Manchester City stars to Eastlands this summer.

The Manchester Evening News says Eriksson will try to lure Shaun Wright-Phillips back to Manchester once he takes over at City.

The England winger's career has stalled since his bombshell £21m move to Chelsea two years ago and would now be available at half that price.

The 25-year-old SWP hit 31 goals at City after breaking into the first team from the acclaimed youth Academy.

A return for the pint-sized superstar together with Nicolas Anelka, now at Bolton, would be the kind of signings that would prove the Blues are determined to challenge for a European place.
