Birmingham City have confirmed the signing of James McFadden.

  • Chelsea ready new contract for star midfielder
  • Chelsea make first move to sign Xabi Alonso
  • A fee of £4.75m with another £1m based on add-ons.



    "He is not just a guy who can score great goals," said Birmingham boss Alex McLeish. "He can also create, make things happen and he has a big heart."



    "James is the type of player you know you are going to get everything from for the entire 90 minutes of a game,"



    He has matured. He has had his initiation at Everton in the Premier League and for me he is a definite Premier League player. He has shown that in a very good Everton side this season.



    "When he has come into the side, I am not so sure anyone has looked as good as him."
