Football in Brief: Sunderland stall Benitez over move for Jones
Tuesday, 19 January 2010
Sunderland are unwilling to consider loaning their striker Kenwyne Jones to Liverpool and Rafael Benitez will have to raise funds from the sale of Ryan Babel to bring the player in. Benitez has not given up hope of recruiting the Trinidad & Tobago striker with a cash deal though. Sunderland may release him for £10m, with Steve Bruce keen to raise money for his own targets. These include Salvador Cabanas, the Paraguayan striker of Club America in Mexixo and Schalke's Kevin Kuranyi. If Babel can be offloaded to Birmingham for nearer to £10m than the initial £8m bid, securing Jones seems a possibility.
