Sebastian Larsson is set to demand a transfer from Birmingham City.
The Birmingham Mail says Larsson is on the brink of handing in a transfer request having become increasingly frustrated with his contract situation at the club.
Talks between the Sweden international and Blues have been on-going for some time but they are still to reach a conclusion and, to protect themselves, Blues decided to take up the one-year option on his current deal.
That has only disgruntled Larsson further as the midfielder, who celebrates his 25th birthday today, thought he was close to agreeing improved terms.
