Liverpool winger Ryan Babel has Premiership clubs queuing to take him away from Anfield.

The News of the World says Birmingham are leading the chase for the £8million-rated Liverpool winger.

The former Ajax winger is happy in England and has not ruled out staying at Anfield provided Rafa Benitez moves on at the end of the season.

Newcastle, Sunderland and Blackburn are thought to be among the other clubs monitoring the player, who cost Liverpool £11.5million in 2007.
