Alexander Hleb Joins Birmingham

Former Arsenal midfielder Alexander Hleb has joined Birmingham City on a season-long loan from Barcelona. The Belarusian midfielder spent last season on loan at German side Stuttgart and will now return to the Premier League with the Blues.

Alex McLeish’s summer spending hasn’t quite scaled the heights that many had expected following Carson Yeung’s takeover, and after failing to bring in Charles N’Zogbia from Wigan they have now secured Hleb.

Birmingham are also thought to have enquired about the possibility of bringing in Armand Traore on loan from Arsenal.

Birmingham are at home to Liverpool next Sunday and can be backed at odds of 5/2 with Coral to win that match. They are also 20/1 with Totesport to finish in the top 6 this season.
