LONDON: Alex McLeish will re-double his efforts to sign Kris Boyd and Roman Pavlyuchenko when the summer transfer window opens in August, after drawing a blank last month in his efforts to spend a large slice of owner Carson Yeung’s £20mil transfer pledge.
Birmingham had a £10mil offer from Spurs rejected for the Russian international during the January window and were also re-buffed in their attempts to lure Scottish international Boyd away from Glasgow Rangers – despite the fact the 26-year-old is out of contract in June.
