Birmingham manager Alex McLeish hopes to sign Lee Bowyer on a permanent deal in the near future.

The midfielder moved to St Andrews on loan from West Ham in January and settled quickly into the Blues squad.

He played a vital role as Birmingham clinched promotion back to the Premier League for next season.

McLeish is already looking ahead to the 2009/10 campaign and is optimistic of pushing through a deal for Bowyer.

The 32-year-old, who has previously spent time at Newcastle and Leeds, would be available on a free transfer.

"We are hoping to sign Lee," McLeish said in the News of the World.

"We are just waiting on answers from him."
