City boss eyes three new faces as Anelka set to stay

FRUSTRATED Manchester City boss Kevin Keegan is targeting another three new faces - and they will not act as a replacement for Nicolas Anelka.

Anelka made his first appearance of City’s pre-season programme on the right-hand side of midfield in the 4-1 win over Reading on Monday night, amid speculation that Barcelona and Monaco were trying to lure him away from Eastlands.

With no cash to spend, Keegan knows the sale of his £13m record signing could offer him some much-needed funds ahead of the new campaign, although the former England coach has always insisted he wanted Anelka to stay.
