Kenwyne Jones to The Arse ?

SUNDERLAND boss Roy Keane faces a tough summer persuading Kenwyne Jones to stay at Sunderland, according to reports.

The former Southampton and Sheffield Wednesday has had an impressive first season in the Premiership since making a £6m move to the Black Cats and Keane has reportedly knocked back inquiries from Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United, who are all interested in signing the Trinidad and Tobago striker, reckons the News of the World.

On 11 May 2007, Southampton manager George Burley stated that "Kenwyne is another Didier Drogba in the making, as far as physical attributes, his strength and power in the air are second to none".

Chelsea captain John Terry praised Jones, saying: "Jones was fantastic and I have played against him twice now. He is a very good player, very hard working and probably the best in the air in the entire Premier League, he really is that good" after Chelsea had won the match 1–0 on 15 March 2008.

Praise indeed, and just what The Arsenal need.
