Birmingham ready to use loan market to boost squad

Birmingham City boss Alex McLeish says they're ready to exploit the loan market this summer.

McLeish says he's getting along well with Brum chiefs Peter Pannu and Carsen Yeung while in China.

He told the Birmingham Mail: “We can exploit the loan situations as well. We can take international loans, Premier League loans.

“Most agents and clubs are trying to do permanent business, such is the need for money in some clubs. But we’re open to getting a couple of Premier League loans. We’re exploring all avenues.

“We’ve been linked with a few names in the papers. Some a load of rubbish, some an element of truth in it.”
