Birmingham City boss Alex McLeish is to take a closer look at Slovakian striker Jan Novak, who is currently on trial at City from MFK Kosice. The 24-year-old has scored 39 goals in 90 games for Kosice during the past two-and-a-half years.

McLeish confirmed: "We are looking to do more diligence on him. We are wanting to see some more DVDs of him playing at a higher level.

"We know he's done well in the Europa League against teams like Roma so we're looking to get those DVDs and also those of his international games."
