The former Newcastle player is due to fly into Birmingham to launch negotiations with the Carling Cup finalists. But sources close to Blues indicate there will be no concrete announcements regarding 26-year-old Martins until Monday. Martins is still to undergo a medical and to negotiate terms while Birmingham also have to obtain a work permit for the Nigeria international. Blues boss Alex McLeish is desperate to bring in a new forward before the transfer window closes. He failed in his attempts to sign Robbie Keane and Kenny Miller. Martins moved from Inter Milan to Newcastle in 2006 and scored 39 goals in 105 appearances for the Magpies. He was sold to Wolfsburg for £9million in the summer of 2009 but after 12 months moved to Rubin Kazan.
