Birmingham City will sign striker Lukas Jutkiewicz on a permanent deal in the January transfer window.

Jutkiewicz has been on loan at the Championship club since the end of August, and has been a big hit at St Andrew's, scoring six goals this season.

The Blues have taken up the option of signing the 27-year-old after agreeing a fee with the Clarets.

He becomes the first signing of City boss Gianfranco Zola, and on 3 January will sign a contract which keeps him at Birmingham until 2020.
