Dunne set for new City deal

RICHARD DUNNE is ready to commit his long-term future to Manchester City.

The Republic of Ireland centre-half has got his career back on track over the last two years after being threatened with the sack by manager Kevin Keegan.

Newcastle boss Graeme Souness has been among those who have been impressed by the consistency of Dunne’s recent performances and there has been talk of a big-money bid being lodged by the Magpies when the transfer window opens next month.
