West Ham serious about Birmingham off contract pair Ridgewell, Larsson
West Ham United are again being linked with Birmingham City's off contract pair Liam Ridgewell and Sebastian Larsson.
The News of the World says the pair are out of contract this summer but the Blues have the option to extend both contracts by a year.
However, West Ham boss Gianfranco Zola believes he can sign them because of a loophole in FIFA laws that questions the terms of Birmingham's right to sign them for another season.
Ridgewell, 25, started his career as a youth player at Hammers. He is after a big rise on his wages of £12,000-a-week after impressing as a makeshift left-back.
Larsson, 24, on £8,000 a week, has proved a vital utility player.
