City boss Micky Adams wants to bring one of his favourite players to Filbert Way...but has to wait until he sells some more players.

Albion's star defender Danny Cullip would probably cost City about £500,000, but the move is on hold until Adams reduces the Foxes' wage bill.

The Brighton Argus spoke to Albion today and the club admitted that they are aware of interest in Cullip, and that he has not yet accepted a revised contract offer. Cullip has been on the transfer list at his own request since November.

Adams first bought Cullip from Brentford in October 1999 for £50,000. Adams also signed Cullip when he was in charge at Fulham and Brighton.

Supporters named him player-of-the-season in 1999-2000 as Albion lifted the Third Division crown. Cullip was outstanding again last season, when the Seagulls claimed consecutive championships.

Former boss Peter Taylor handed him the captaincy and he was included in the Professional Footballers' Association's Division Two team of the year.

Chief executive Martin Perry said today:

"The situation is as it has always been. Danny asked to go on the transfer list, so he is transfer listed.

"There is a revised deal for Danny on the table. It hasn't been accepted yet, but the club's position is that we respect him enormously as a great player who has done us a great service and we would like to keep him. We have not had a direct approach for him from any other club, but we are aware that there is interest in him."

Speaking on the official LCFC site today, Micky Adams said,

""I've spoken to the chairman and if Muzzy is sold I'd like to think I can bring one or two additions into the football club.

"I've got people I'd like to bring in but at the moment my hands are tied."
