Skysports.com understands Birmingham City's Daniel De Ridder is attracting interest from a host of clubs.

De Ridder's future at Birmingham is up in the air with the winger struggling to hold down a regular place in the side last season.

The Holland Under 21 international hardly featured under Alex McLeish at St Andrews after being brought to the club by Steve Bruce.

De Ridder has spoken of his frustration at not playing regularly and he could decide to move on in search of regular first-team action.

Bruce is believed to be keen on a reunion with the skilful winger at Wigan as he is a big fan of the 24-year-old.

De Ridder's agent Mino Raiola has confirmed clubs from England and elsewhere around Europe are chasing the former Ajax ace.

"There is some interest in Daniel as he is a quality player," Raiola told skysports.com.

"There are clubs in England and abroad who are looking at him.

"We will try and resolve something with Birmingham to suit everyone."
