Birmingham City are favourites to land free agent Peter Lovenkrands.

The Daily Mail says Lovenkrands, 29, who has experience playing under Birmingham boss Alex McLeish at Rangers, is a free agent after leaving Newcastle United at the end of last season.

Newcastle are keen to re-sign the Danish international but Birmingham are now the favourites for his signature.

During his time in Scotland, Lovenkrands won two SPL titles, three Scottish League Cups and one Scottish Cup.

He also played in the Rangers side that reached the last 16 of the Champions League.
