Heskey Brum deal done for £6.25m
Birmingham have clinched a £6.25million five-year deal to sign Emile Heskey from Liverpool.
The move had been mooted for several days but the paperwork of what is effectively a pre-contract deal was finally completed this morning and the England striker will officially join the St Andrews pay-roll on July 1.
Heskey is the first new player to be brought in as manager Steve Bruce prepares for next season, although released Leicester midfielder Muzzy Izzet is another expected to sign for Blues.
Bruce was delighted to have signed an international striker to bolster the forward line alongside Mikael Forssell, who has agreed to extend his loan spell from Chelsea for another season.
'This is an absolutely fantastic signing for the club,' he told the club's website.
'He is still only 26 years old, has 40 England caps to his name and will be representing his country at Euro 2004.
'To pull off a signing like this is quite remarkable and I am really excited to add Emile to the squad for next season.
'Hopefully, he will be the first of several high-profile signings that we will be making this summer.'
Heskey, who flew out to New York yesterday for a short break before joining up with the England squad, said he was looking forward to getting back among the goals.
'I think Birmingham is a progressive and ambitious club and very much going in the right direction,' he told the club's website.
'But they are also building within a sensible framework without throwing money around and jeopardising the future of the club.
'I am keen to play as an out-and-out striker, which I haven't done since my second season at Liverpool, and Steve has made it clear that is the role that he sees for me.
'I am also looking forward to linking up with Mikael Forssell. I have been very impressed with what I have seen of him and I think we can create an effective partnership.'

'Liverpool accept Thai bid'
Thailand's Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra claims Liverpool have accepted his £60million bid to buy a 30 per cent stake in the club.
The Liverpool board have to choose between Thaskin's offer and a rival £73million bid from building tycoon and lifelong fan Steve Morgan.
David Moores, whose family has had control of Liverpool for half a century, owns 51% of the club and television company Granada have a 9.9% share.
The board have claimed Morgan's offer does not represent the true value of the club.
Morgan aimed to raise £61million with a rights issue and £12million through a share issue, but directors branded the plan 'unattractive' after a board meeting on Thursday.
Thaksin, a billionaire telecoms tycoon before he turned to politics, has said he wants to promote Thai football and employ Liverpool coaches to lift the lacklustre national game up to international standards.
'In principle they agreed to give it to us and now we are working on details,' Thaksin told the BBC.
Spokesman Santiparb Tejavanija said: 'I am flying to Liverpool tonight. Our proposal has been approved.'
Santiparb, whose Sports Authority of Thailand (SAT) was appointed by Thaksin to work on the details of the investment, added: 'What I will sign in England would be something of a memorandum of understanding or letter of intent.
'After that we will work on the legal details of the investment.'
Thailand's dubious human rights record has prompted criticism of Liverpool's willingness to do business with Thaksin.
But the deal would provide a financial boost for the club, allowing them to compete with the Premiership's richest clubs, buy new players, and help finance an £80million proposed new stadium in Stanley Park.
Thaksin's motivation appears less clear, however. His representatives say it is because of a love of the game, while more cynical voices have said it may be to boost his political popularity in the soccer-mad nation.

-----------------------
Liverpool striker Emile Heskey has cleared out his locker at Melwood and is heading to Birmingham to complete his transfer to Birmingham City. The Reds will receive an initial payment of £3.5million for the player which should rise to £6million depending on appearances. City boss Steve Bruce said: "Hopefully we will be able to make Emile a Birmingham player within the next two days."

Liverpool have been linked with a possible swoop for Galatasaray goalkeeper Faryd Aly Camilo Mondragon. The 32-year-old Colombian is available on a free transfer in the summer and acording to newspaper speculation, Gerard Houllier has been sniffing around him. It sounds a bit odd this link as there could be work permit issues but it's worth a mention.
