Blues could look to Green swoop

Birmingham could swoop for West Ham goalkeeper Robert Green this summer with uncertainty surrounding the future of Joe Hart.

Blues boss Alex McLeish is eyeing up goalkeeping possibilities with Hart's season-long loan from Manchester City up soon.

Green, who could be England's first choice for this summer's World Cup, will assess his options if his club West Ham are relegated.

McLeish is expected to have sizeable funds to spend from owner Carson Yeung, and, with no guarantees that this Sunday's opponents City will allow 22-year-old Hart to stay at St Andrew's, will be looking into the market for options.

Hart, who has also been capped by England, has been excellent for Blues this season, missing just one Premier League game and helping the club to the eighth best defensive record in the top flight.
