Birmingham City manager Chris Hughton says it will be his club and not West Bromwich Albion who decide the fate of goalkeeper Ben Foster.
The 28-year old has been ever present with the gloves this season whilst on loan with the Baggies and he has indicated that he would like to remain at The Hawthorns past the summer.
But Hughton insists that it will be the promotion-chasing Blues who make the final decision on Foster.
"We all know what the situation is and it's one that will have to be addressed.
"But it will be addressed at the right time. It's very much dependant on ourselves.""We are all aware of the fact Ben Foster is our goalkeeper and we know dialogue will have to take part at some stage," he told Express & Star.
