ZOLA: I’M HAPPY WITH MY SQUAD

- By Luke Baker

GIANFRANCO ZOLA is not expecting Birmingham City to complete any further business in the January transfer window.

The Italian manager has secured on-loan Lukas Jutkiewicz, 27, on a permanent deal from Burnley and secured the services of 20-year-old defender Cheick Keita and former Middlesbro­ugh man Emilio Nsue, 27.

And Zola is confident that he can put his feet up before the window shuts on Tuesday, whilst remaining open to some late outgoing loan deals.

“I don’t think we will do any more business,” he said.

“I think the squad for now is quite good. We are going to consider loaning out a couple of young players because they need to go and play.”
