Rumour mill: City eye Thomert move

4/ 8/2005

BLUES boss Stuart Pearce is pondering a bid for Lens midfielder Olivier Thomert, according to a report.

The 25-year-old, who was the subject of a failed bid by Charlton in January, has experssed a desire to move to the Premiership.

And, according to Sky Sports, Lens are bracing themselves for a fresh bid for the player from City, with the Blues favourite to land the midfielder.

Thomert, valued at around £5m, is a former teammate of Antoine Sibierski from their days together in France, which would attract him to Eastlands.

Pearce still retains a strong interest in Steed Malbranque despite Fulham knocking back an initial £4m bid. He is expected to make another offer for the Craven Cottage star but Thomert would add another option for improving City's midfield.

Who would you go for? Have your say.
