However, Blues do expect to be in a position to confirm the situation regarding their attempts to sign the pair on Tuesday.

Heskey is believed to be close to signing on a four-year deal for £3.75million rising to about £6million based on success whilst Izzet, who is available on a free transfer, is believed to have been offered a three-year deal at St Andrew's.
