Rubin Kazan striker Obafemi Martins is already talking up the prospects of signing outright with Birmingham City.
Martins is on loan from Russian side Rubin Kazan for the remainder of the season.
He said: "Would I like a permanent move? Yes, why not. Birmingham is a big club and the team is doing well.
"If everything goes well then, of course, I'm going to stay.
"I was keen to play Premier League football again. It is one of the best leagues in the world.
"It doesn't matter to me that Birmingham aren't the biggest team in this division.
"They're not the smallest team either. I wanted to come here and play for them. This is a great opportunity.
"I just want to fit in as soon as possible, start scoring goals and be happy here."
