City back in for Fowler
ROBBIE FOWLER has performed a remarkable about-turn and is considering rekindling his proposed move to Manchester City, planetfootball.com understands.
The Leeds striker pulled out of a move to Maine Road earlier in January as he claimed he had 'unfinished business' at Elland Road.
However, the England marksman was reportedly unsettled last week by Whites boss Terry Venables`s claim that he may walk out on the club if big stars such as Jonathan Woodgate are sold.
With the manager unsure of his position at Leeds, Fowler grew alarmed at the prospect of being left in the wilderness and thoughts of resurrecting his move to City entered his mind over the weekend.
Talks are now understood to be ongoing, but it is believed that a deal is in the process of being agreed - again.
Both clubs are remaining tight-lipped on the subject, but it is believed that the England ace could complete a move to Manchester in the next few days.
However, the player`s agent George Scott has attempted to play down talk of an imminent move, saying: "Whether he moves on from Leeds depends on where he wants to go and if anyone wants him.
"Leeds would consider an offer for anyone, but there hasn't been a new offer for Robbie.
"As far as Robbie's concerned he's a Leeds United player," Scott told the BBC.
Fowler has not travelled with the Leeds squad for their trip to Chelsea on Tuesday, with Venables claiming that the forward 'needed to work on his fitness'.
The lack of action for Leeds is also said to be a factor behind Fowler`s decision to think again about moving to City.
