Forssell's Future Could Still Be With Blues

The Finnish international striker looked destined for a move to German Bundesliga side Hannover but that move now appears to have fallen through, amidst reports that he had failed a medical on grounds of his recent knee injury problems.

"I still believe that Mikael can play a part at Birmingham City. He is a terrific striker and seems to be coming back to fitness," said Gold.

"You could do a lot worse than him in your strike force. He is raring to go and feels that sharpness is coming back into his game.

"With a good pre-season under his belt, Mikael could be back to what he was when we first had him.

"Any striker that scores nearly 20 goals in the Premier League is worth his weight in gold."
