Last updated : 26 May 2004 By Brian Cartlidge

The Scotland international striker is reportedly due to for talks over a possible move to St Andrews but he has allegedly already been in discussions with Pompey and West Brom and is also set to meet with Norwich and Blackburn.

Dickov has a clause in his contract at Leicester that states that he is allowed to talk to interested Premiership clubs following The Foxes relegation and Blues have registered their interest.

Whether he would fit into the Blues starting eleven is doubtful however with Mikael Forssell and Emile Eskey sure to be spearheading the attack next season so the possibility of a first team place at probably all of the above mentioned clubs may sway his decision on which side to join.
