Birmingham have put Serbian striker Milan Jovanovic back on their radar after Rafa Benitez's exit from Liverpool.
Mirrorsport revealed on November 30 that Brum boss Alex McLeish was eying Serbian pair Jovanovic and Nikola Zigic to play together in the Premier League.
City finally got 6ft 8in Zigic, 29, earlier this month in a £6million deal from Spanish club Valencia.
And fellow Serbian World Cup star Jovanovic, 27, is set to leave his club Standard Liege this summer on a Bosman.
The forward was expected to go to Anfield on a free transfer to work under Benitez after talks in January.
But Jovanovic's future has been thrown into doubt following Benitez's move to Champions League winners Inter Milan.
And now Brum would like Jovanovic to come to St Andrews to link up with his compatriot Zigic.
Agent Barry McIntosh confirmed: "Birmingham wanted Jovanovic in January and I tried to make it happen but he wanted to run his contract down.
"Now a move to Birmingham is a possibility once more."
Brum are also interested in Tottenham forward Robbie Keane and Fulham's Bobby Zamora but he is expected to pen a new deal at Craven Cottage.
