West Bromwich Albion have
turned down Birmingham City's bid for Diomansy
Kamara.
1 of the website reported on Monday morning that the newly-promoted
Blues had offered £3.5million for the striker.
But it appears Birmingham's opening gambit for the Senegal
international has been knocked back by their local rivals.
Blues boss Steve Bruce appears keen to increase his attacking
options and must now decide whether to up his original offer for
Kamara.
Bruce is also chasing Turkey international Tuncay Sanli and could
have additional transfer funds if interest in a takeover from the
Far East firms up.
Kamara cost West Brom £1.5million from Modena two years ago and
there are signs the player could be allowed to leave The Hawthorns
for the right price following comments by his agent.
