The Swedish midfielder is out of contract at the end of the season and Blues boss Alex McLeish is determined to keep Larsson at St Andrew's. Larsson has spent four years with Birmingham, but has yet to make a decision on his future amid reports he is being tracked by several clubs. The former Arsenal youngster is not closing the door on signing an extension in the Midlands, but suggested the next move is down to Birmingham. "There is no new contract signed," said Larsson in the Swedish media. "The ball is with the club. "I don't close any doors, but I am happy in England, both socially and football wise. The league suits me." Larsson was a key figure in Birmingham reaching the semi-finals of the Carling Cup on Wednesday night as he opened the scoring from the penalty spot in a 2-1 win over local rivals Aston Villa. He added: "The cup is always important, especially when you go far "We were fighting for a place in the semi-final against our arch-rivals. It can't be much bigger than that."
