Hannover have confirmed the signing of Mikael Forssell from Birmingham City...
Mikael Forssell has left Alex McLeish's relegated Birmingham to sign a three-year deal with Bundesliga outfit Hannover 96.
Now-Championship side Birmingham were keen to keep the 27-year-old Finn at St Andrew's, but his contract was due to expire in June.
Hannover's sporting director Christian Hochstatter told the club's official website: "We are very happy that we could persuade Mikael to join."
Striker Forssell added: "I am looking forward to playing for Hannover and in the Bundesliga."
Unleash McLeish
Blues boss McLeish feels that the club has enough firepower to survive sans-Forssell, adding: "We have good strikers here already.
"Cameron Jerome can look back at his first season in the Premier League and say he did well, but there's definitely a chance for him to really shine and get back to the Premier League and show what a potent force he can become.
"With Garry O'Connor - although I believe he still has to win over the fans - he can use his left foot, right foot, he's quick enough and he's good in the air but he's got to come back with all guns blazing."
James McFadden, meanwhile, has only been at the club since January, yet rumours are circulating that he doesn't intend to play in the second tier.
Big Eck, though, is sure his Scottish countryman is up for the challenge of gunning the side back into the Premiership.
"McFadden, of course, was on fire before his injury and it was a shame to lose him at such a critical time at the end of the season," McLeish said.
"But as far I'm concerned he's definitely staying. It would need to be a ridiculous offer and an offer that would enable me to bring in somebody as good or better."
