Last updated : 06 November 2004 By Brian Cartlidge
The Finland Under 21 international, brother of Ipswich Town striker Shefki, has been training with the Blues squad for the last ten days and Bruce has confirmed that talks have begun between Blues and Finnish side FC Lahti about the possibilty of the striker signing for Blues when the transfer window opens in January.

Bruce has also told the clubs official website that there are other clubs interested in signing Kuqi and that some are Coca Cola League sides who would be in a position to sign the player straight away because they are not restricted by the transfer window system.

The Blues boss does not see Kuqi, who is valued at around £500,000, as an immediate solution to Blues' goalscoring problems but more as one for the future.
