Out of favour Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Kevin Prince Boateng, is being lined up by Championship side Birmingham City on a loan deal.
Co-owner David Sullivan has conceded that City will have to find loan signings now after failing to land targets on permanent deals before the transfer window closed on Monday night.
Sullivan also confirmed Birmingham’s interest in bringing Boateng to St Andrews, with the former Hertha Berlin player known to not figure in Spurs boss Juande Ramos’ plans at Tottenham.
21-year old Boateng joined Spurs from Bundesliga club Hertha Berlin in 2007 for £4.5million (€5.7m), but has failed to establish himself under White Hart Lane boss Juande Ramos, making only 13 appearances for the North London outfit last season.
Sullivan told the Birmingham Mail: “Boateng? Still a possibility, who knows?
“Another club were about to buy him for a pile of money, then changed their mind.
“Alex wants to find out more about a few players, he likes to make sure he has all his research done. You have to back your manager.
“It's not usually a good idea to bring people in on the last day, especially when you still have the opportunity in the next couple of months.
Offers
“There were various deals we were working on but we all had to be sure, and time got us in the end.
“We know we maybe need a couple more players, but we could still possibly loan for three months with a view to buy at Christmas.
“Why panic? You find that when you buy or loan at the last minute when the window is about to shut, nine times out of 10 it doesn't come off.”
