Bruce has failed in his bid to prise first choice Clinton Morrison from Crystal Palace, both club's failing to come to an agreement over the fee.

So now the Blues boss plans to fly Olisadebe into Birmingham and have talks with a view to completing an already agreed £3.3 million transfer from Panathinaikos.

The Greek side accepted Blues' bid for the Nigerian-born Polish International striker last week but the transfer was held up.

"We expect in the next 24 to 48 hours that Emmanuel will come over and he'll have a conversation with me, then we'll see how it progresses from there," Bruce told the B'ham Evening Mail.
