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