Birmingham and Larsson try again for new contract

Midfielder Sebastian Larsson and Birmingham have re-opened talks with over a new contract.

Larsson has been involved in negotiations which first opened two years ago following their relegation from the Barclays Premier League.

The Sweden international could not make his mind up on his future even after City returned to the top flight.

As a result Blues took up a 12-month option on his current contract which will run out next summer.

If the two sides cannot reach an agreement, then Larsson will be free to talk to interested parties in January and possibly sign a pre-contract agreement.

The 25-year-old's representatives met with Birmingham's acting chairman Peter Pannu on Thursday.

The former Arsenal player has said on several occasions in the past that he would prefer to remain at St Andrews.
