On SSN website now.

Birmingham have concluded a deal for Spanish international Borja Oubina.



Skysports.com reported on Friday that Birmingham had joined the race for Oubina and they now look to have landed his signature.


The 25-year-old has shunned interest from Benfica and Manchester City over the last week but now Birmingham have concluded a deal.


It is believed the twice-capped Celta Vigo man will move to St Andrews on an initial season-long loan with a view to a permanent deal.



Pleased


"I'm happy because I'm going to play in such a powerful and attractive league as the English one," Oubina told Spanish news agency Efe.


"It's true that I would have liked Celta to transfer me and not go out on loan but the club didn't want that."


Birmingham moved for Oubina, after they missed out on the signings of Peter Luccin, Mathieu Flamini and Hossam Ghaly.

Tom Ross said at 7.45 he had just spoken to Brucey and the deal is not yet done - he is still trying to sort out some loose ends.

I'd be very, very pleased with this signing. Playing for a not exactly 'big' team in Spain and STILL getting picked for the Spain team is very impressive.

I hope he can settle in England and can get used to the pace of the English game.

Birmingham City has signed Spain midfielder Borja Oubina on loan from second-division Celta Vigo, reports said Friday.

Borja, capped twice, has spent his career with Celta but asked to leave when the club was relegated at the end of last season.

"I'm happy because I'm going to play in such a powerful and attractive league as the English one," the 25-year-old Borja was quoted as saying by news agency Efe. "It's true that I would have liked Celta to transfer me and not go out on loan but the club didn't want that."

Birmingham lies 12th in the 20-team Premier League with four points from four matches

Birmingham chasing Celta star
Birmingham are hoping to sign Celta Vigo midfielder Borja Oubina on a loan deal before the transfer window closes at midnight

Blues boss Steve Bruce confirmed his interest in Oubina after missing out on Peter Luccin who opted to remain at Atletico Madrid.

Bruce said: "We are in talks with the player and we are going to try to sign him tonight.

"He is a creative player who has won two caps for Spain. He was very close to going to Benfica for something like 10 million euros.

"But that deal has hit a few snags so we have jumped in to try to get him on loan but it could go right down to the wire."
