Birmingham City striker Garry O'Connor is backing their bid for Everton attacker James McFadden.
"He has worked for the gaffer before and to get him here would be great because he's top class.
"If he came here he would score goals, as he has already done in the Premier League, and at national level, and he would be a great success and help the team."
O'Connor added: "I think it might appeal to him. There's a lot of people after his signature but I think if we stump £5million up we would get him.
"That would be the price. Whether the funds are there I don't know, but hopefully the chairman and the board can give the gaffer some money.
"Hopefully the gaffer will make a few more signings. If we bring players in and keep playing like we did at Arsenal, then I think we will be fine."
