Atletico line up Gronkjaer
Reports in Spain claim Atletico Madrid will land Jesper Gronkjaer in January.
Reports in Spain suggest that Atletico Madrid are almost certain to land Jesper Gronkjaer from Birmingham during the January transfer window.The Danish international only moved to St Andrews from Chelsea last summer, but is reported to be ready to move on already.
The Denmark international has been a fixture in Steve Bruce's side having started all 15 Premiership games for the club this term, but has failed to convince Blues supporters of his worth.
Gronkjaer has not produced the consistency to win fans over, and has admitted he is disappointed with his form at the club thus far.
Radio station Cadena SER insist he is now ready to turn his back on The Premiership, and claim Atletico director of sport Toni Munoz has convinced the player to head to Spain.
Gronkjaer was a target for both Atletico and Sevilla during the summer, but opted to stay in England following the death of his mother.
However, Atletico - who are desperate to land a right-sided midfielder - have maintained a watching brief and are still keen to land the Dane.
Having reportedly persuaded the player to swap The Premiership for La Liga, Los Rojiblancos are now confident of thrashing out a deal with Birmingham for around £1 million.
It remains to be seen whether Bruce will consent to the sale of a player he has shown so much faith in, but Gronkjaer appears to have decided that his future lies elsewhere.
