Birmingham are continuing to monitor Red Bull Salzburg striker Marc Janko, 26, after sending scouts to watch him last week. Janko has scored 67 goals in 92 games for Salzburg and has a one in two record for Austria. At 6ft 5in, he has been easy to spot for Europe’s top scouts but the main concern has been the standard of Austria’s league. However, his price, reported to be around £6million, represents decent value and at 26 that will only increase if he proves a success in the Barclays Premier League.

Barcelona right back Dani Alves has dismissed speculation linking him with a move to Chelsea and said he wants to stay at the Nou Camp. Reports in recent weeks had suggested Alves was in contract discussions over a new deal and Premier League sides Chelsea and Manchester City were following developments. Alves told Globoesporte: “Chelsea are a great club. To be talked about and be in their plans is a privilege. At the moment I’m happy at Barcelona and intend to see out my contract here. Interest from them (Chelsea) gives me great satisfaction, knowing that they are one of the biggest teams in world football.”

Manchester United are ready to make a new move for Spanish hot shot David Villa – if he goes up for sale at Valencia in the summer. United chief Sir Alex Ferguson sent brother Martin – his top European scout – to watch Villa net twice against Getafa as the Old Trafford club updated their dossier on the superstar. Ferguson wanted Villa last summer but his £45 million price tag put the deal off. However Dimitar Berbatov’s indifferent form has left the door open for a top-flight striker to join for next season.
