Birmingham boss Alex McLeish has admitted that he is hoping to be signing Armand Traore from Arsenal on a loan deal.
But McLeish insists he has alternative targets if the Gunners does not want to let the full-back go.
“I don’t want to upset Arsene Wenger by speaking (about Traore),” said McLeish. “I also see he has got a couple of injuries himself, like Gael Clichy, so I hope that’s not ominous.
“We’ve got other targets, but we want to bring in a bit of quality for the position.
“It’s not a bottomless pit in terms of the money and we’d try to structure a deal on maybe a loan.
“I’m not talking necessarily about Traore, there’s one or two options. It’s better that I don’t talk about other people’s players at the moment.
“All that does is upset the Birmingham fans when we don’t get them.”
