Birmingham sign Heskey

Birmingham have signed Liverpool striker Emile Heskey for an initial fee of £3.5m, which could rise to £6.25m.
The striker, who is in England's squad for Euro 2004, has put pen to paper on a five-year contract at St Andrews.

Heskey was Liverpool's record signing when he joined from Leicester in 2000 for £11m, and he scored 60 goals in 277 appearances for the Reds.

Birmingham boss Steve Bruce said: "This is an absolutely fantastic signing for the club - I am really excited."

Birmingham already have Mikael Forssell on another year's loan from Chelsea, and he should form a strike partnership with Heskey next season.

Leicester's Muzzy Izzet is being lined up on a Bosman free transfer - which would reunite the midfielder with ex-Foxes team-mates Heskey and Robbie Savage.

Chelsea winger Jesper Gronkjaer is also a target - with Bruce promising to get most of his transfer market work done before his squad returns to pre-season training.

Speaking to the club's website, Bruce added: "Emile is still only 26 years old, has 40 England caps to his name and will be representing his country at Euro 2004.

"To pull off a signing like this is quite remarkable and I am really excited to add Emile to the squad for next season.

"Hopefully, he will be the first of several high-profile signings that we will be making this summer."

Emile Heksey is finally at a club that suits him, i have no idea why he was playing for Liverpool and been a first team regular for England, that just baffles me.

if he could finally prove himself now..

not the best strike-pair for Forssell, but attack still looks like the strongest part in the squad of Birmingham.

Plus Liverpool had to get some of that £11m back.

Meh, we paid good money for Carl Cort (accident prone but good) and Duncan Ferguson.

Adreas Andersson is a prick.
