Everton's defensive midfielder Lee Carsley is reportedly set to quit Goodison Park and make a shock move to relegated Birmingham.
Carsley, 34, joined Everton from Coventry City in 2002 and has proved a popular figure with the Toffees' faithful.
But Carsley is out of contract this summer and Everton boss David Moyes has only offered him a one-year deal, while he would reportedly get a two-year contract at St Andrews.
Carlsey, who was born in Birmingham, would be a useful addition to the Blues as manager Alex McLeish bids to put together a side capable of winning promotion from the Championship next season after City's relegation from the Premier League.

"Aboslutely gutted if we loose Carsley!!!!! He's been our best player this season and right up there the past few seasons. Most of his work goes unoticed, but anyones who knows footbal, knows what a player he is! Good luck to him if he moves on, just hope Moyes has got the 10-15 we will need to replace him! Marcos Senna anyone?"
