Quashie wants to stay with Blues

West Ham midfielder Nigel Quashie is hoping to extend his loan deal with Birmingham should his services be required.

The former Scotland international’s current month-long contract expires this weekend, but he is hoping he has done enough to earn an extended stay at St Andrews.

That remains open to question, especially with the ex-Albion man due to serve a one-match ban, for his red card in Saturday’s 3-2 win against Charlton.

Quashie said: “I really want to stay and I really want to be part of the boys, who are a fantastic group to be around.”
