Bruce admits Ghaly interest

Steve Bruce has confirmed he has enquired about bringing Hossam Ghaly to Birmingham City.

The midfielder has been tipped to leave Tottenham Hotspur over the summer after failing to establish himself as a regular in Martin Jol's first team.

He also ended last season on a low note after throwing his shirt to the ground after being substituted in the game with Blackburn Rovers.

Ghaly had previously been hoping to stay at White Hart Lane, but reports now suggest he will be allowed to leave by Jol.

St Andrews could be his next port of call after Birmingham boss Bruce admitted he is interested in the Egypt international.

"He's one we have enquired about," Bruce told the Birmingham Mail.

"He came to my attention a year ago when we had Tottenham in a pre-season friendly in the rain at St Andrews.

"It was that game when Berbatov played and scored a stunning goal.

"But my eye was caught by Ghaly and we've had him monitored since.

"As I said, we've made an enquiry, but it hasn't gone further - yet."
