Birmingham City manager Alex McLeish is growing frustrated in his attempts to sign out-of-favour Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Kevin-Prince Boateng on loan.

McLeish told the Birmingham Mail: "I was hoping I would have met with him this week but he's been in Germany and I'm waiting to hear the next step.
