TRANSFER RUMOUR ROUND UP

Last updated : 19 July 2002 By Editor
Planet Football claim that Lazio have offered Hernan Crespo to United in an
effort to get some much needed cash. The web site reports that with Nesta
likely to stay in Rome, Lazio still need to sell a star with the axe likely to fall on
Crespo.

Liverpool are widely reported to make an offer for Blackburn's Damien Duff in
the next few days, while the Bowyer transfer should be wrapped up next
week.

The Sun report that Birmingham turned down the chance to sign former Brazil
star Romario. The Brazilian striker who would be on a free is believed to be too old by the Brum board.

Leeds midfielder Olivier Dacourt has said that Arsenal are now in the race to
sign him. He must not have heard Wenger saying he didn't need anymore
players at the moment.
