City after Ashton

Last updated : 09 December 2004 By Simon Turner

After attracting interest from Tottenham supremo, Dean Ashton is being targeted by Manchester City.

Kevin Keegan is believed to be tracking the 21-year-old hotshot, with Nico Anelka set for a January move away from Eastlands.

Apparently Keegan has told associates that Ashton could be "another Jon Macken". The ultimate compliment I think not.

Crewe are believed to value Dean between £2.5 and £3m
