Kerzhakov The Latest Rumour

Last updated : 18 August 2006 By Footy Mad - Editor



However ... if YOU are interested in the latest rumours going around Tyneside, "Newcastle are set to battle it out with Bolton for the signing of Russian striker Alexander Kerzhakov".

He plays for Zenit St Petersburg (no, we hadn't heard of them either) but Sam Allardyce is keen on the 23-year-old and Glenn Roeder is said to have picked up on it.

Zenit want around £8 million for their striker, who was voted Russian Player of the Year last season when he scored 17 goals.

Kerzhakov has scored 8 goals in 33 internationals.
