Nikola Zigic has landed himself a tall order – finding the goals to fire Birmingham City upwards after completing a £6million switch from Valencia.

The giant Serbia striker has agreed a four-year deal with the St Andrew’s club, becoming Alex McLeish’s third signing of the close season.

Zigic stands at almost 6ft 8in – he doesn’t exactly dwarf Spurs’ Peter Crouch, but the England international has finally found someone in the Barclays Premier League to look up to. Albeit by less than an inch.
