Manchester City may be level with Arsenal on points at the top of the Premier league table, but
the club is far from over the moon after a recent request from their star striker. The Guardian is
reporting that Manchester City striker Carlos Tevez has handed in a transfer request to leave
Manchester City.
Arsene Wenger has aimed another dig at Chelsea, United and City by stating that he would never buy

The Russian billionaire Alisher Usmanov currently owns around 27% of the shares in Arsenal Football
Club, and admitted today that he is so impressed with the way his "investment is rising" that he
will carry on increasing his stake in the club until it reaches the 29.9 needed to stay below the
