Sky Sports News understands Birmingham are closing in on the signing of West Ham midfielder Lee Bowyer.

Blues boss Alex McLeish has lined up a deal to sign Bowyer as he looks to bolster his midfield options.

West Ham are willing to offload Bowyer as they look to trim their squad by selling some of their fringe players.

The former Leeds and Newcastle man is believed to be in talks with Birmingham officials after being spotted at the club's training ground.

McLeish has been busy already in the January transfer market with the signing of Scott Sinclair, and Bowyer is on the verge of becoming the club's second new arrival.
