England Goalkeeper David James Set For Bristol City Switch Despite Chelsea And Celtic Interest - Report
Jul 28, 2010 1:03:00 PM
Former Portsmouth goalkeeper David James is set to snub the advances of Champions League sides Celtic and Chelsea to move to Bristol City, according to the Scottish Sun.
James, 39, is available on a free transfer after the south coast outfit failed to offer him a fresh contract due to its dire financial situation. Celtic were believed to be keen on adding his experience to their set-up, while Chelsea were keen on bringing in top class cover for injured shot-stopper Petr Cech.
The pair are believed to be set to be beaten to the World Cup goalkeeper's signature after he began negotiations with the ambitious Championship outfit.
New manager Steve Coppell is understood to see him as a pivotal signing to see his charges win promotion to the Premier League and he could ink a 12-month deal.
