Bruce moves for Cup hero

Birmingham City have made a shock move for Brentford's FA Cup hero DJ Campbell.

Birmingham City have made a shock move for Brentford's FA Cup hero DJ Campbell, skysports.com understand.

The former Yeading marksman has found his feet immediately with The Bees this season after joining in the summer.

His two goals on Saturday gave Brentford a 2-1 cup win over Sunderland, but that looks to be his last contribution for the South West London outfit.

Campbell has been likened in many ways to Ian Wright, if for nothing else than his unusual route into football - and now he is set to follow him into The Premiership.

Steve Bruce has been convinced by Campbell's abilities after watching him over a number of weeks and he is now ready to take a £500,000 gamble on the 24-year-old who has 12 goals to his name this season.
