Mudingayi: Premier League claim

New Bologna recruit Gaby Mudingayi has claimed that both Liverpool and Tottenham have bid for him in the past.

The Belgium midfielder was surprised when Lazio set up a deal to send him to Bologna as he had previously shunned overtures from The Premier League.

Although admitting everything has been a bit of a whirlwind for him, Mundigayi is looking forward to representing the Rossoblu with distinction.

"I was surprised," he told Il Tempo. "Also because in the past years I have stayed despite offers from Liverpool and Tottenham.

"Even with the fact that the negotiations with Bologna went very quickly but this is a good thing.

"I am very happy. I immediately got on with my team-mates and I am sure I'll do well."

onbeyondzebra - 24 July 2008 19:25: a year and a half ago liverpool were scouting him quite openly...he had a steller year and the italian papers said that liverpool were considering an 8 million pound bid. long story short, if there was a bid lazio rejected it, not the player, the belgian international had a dismal season last year and now is playing for bologna...and so all is right with the world again.

Yogi - 24 July 2008 01:38: Strange this he's rejected Liverpool and Spurs but he's gone to Bologna. Do I smell a rat, he's bigging himself up and it'd be rather nice to see the idiot fail. Speaking as a Liverpool fan I'd never heard of us making abid and I'm sure certain I don't recall Spurs making one either.; Report this to a moderator

“I'm glad he's staying!! For a few weeks there I thought we were going to get ripped off TWICE in 1 summer! Robbie Keane is a very good footballer but worth £20million i'm not sure. £18million for Barry and £12million for Alonso!! Jesus is it just me or does EVERYONE else see that as terrible business?? Rafa has a plan that he obviously thought Barry would be the perfect cog in his midfield machine but maybe next year, maybe not. I'm not sure about Riera but i'm willing to give him a chance like he deserves!! I hope we win the league this year but Chelsea are looking very strong.”
