Relegated Birmingham City are eyeing big Czech Republic international Jan Koller.
McLeish is eager to secure the firepower to help Birmingham bounce straight back to the Premier League after suffering relegation last season.
And Koller's representative Pavel Paska claims the Blues and Russian side Krylia Sovetov Samara are chasing the 35-year-old, who was a member of Czech Republic's Euro 2008 squad.
"Two clubs have shown interest - Krylia Sovetov Samara and Birmingham City," Paska told TV Nova.
