Man City Linked With Heerenveen’s Alves, Bayern’s Podolski & Lyon’s Fred

After a move to AZ Alkmaar failed to materialise, Afonso Alves is looking for a move to the Premiership with Manchester City linked with a £14million swoop for the prolific Brazilian striker.

Afonso Alves, who currently plays for Heerenveen, had been linked with a move to Middlesbrough in the summer.

"My dream is to play in the Premier League in England. That will help me stay in the Brazil set-up," Alves told the Sunday Mirror.

Apart from Alves, Eriksson is also reportedly looking at Bayern Munich’s Germany international striker Lukas Podolski and Brazilian ace Fred, who plays for Lyon.
