Larsson keen on new Blues deal

Birmingham midfielder Sebastian Larsson has again expressed his desire to sign a new contract but insists he is “not worried” by the lack of activity so far from the new board in that direction.

The Sweden international was offered a five-year deal by the previous owners but it was on ice after the takeover by Carson Yeung was put into operation. Larsson’s current contract ends in June although City have a 12-month option in their favour that they could take up.

The former Arsenal player said: “All I have said all along is that it’s up to the club now to let me know what they want to do. Then we will see what happens. If we can agree on something, then I am more than happy to sign a new deal – but it’s one thing just saying it, you need to start talking and agree something.”
