Skysports.com understands Birmingham are ready to rekindle their interest in Liverpool's Ryan Babel.
Birmingham tried to sign Babel during the January transfer window, but failed to agree a deal with Liverpool.
Blues boss Alex McLeish is thought to be a big admirer of the Dutchman and is ready to revive his attempts to lure him to St Andrews.
McLeish has been frustrated in his attempts to sign Wigan winger Charles N'Zogbia and could now turn his attentions to Babel to fill the left-sided midfield role.
Babel's future at Liverpool looks uncertain with the 23-year-old failing to live up to expectations at Anfield.
Liverpool could be tempted to cash in on Babel to help raise funds for potential new signings for whoever becomes the club's new manager.
