West Ham To Pip Birmingham For Konchesky?

Konchesky has just one-year left on his contract at Craven Cottage and wants a new challenge.

Birmingham are favourites for his signature, but Barking-born Konchesky would prefer a move back to his former club West Ham, where he played from 2005-07.

If the Hammers pip Birmingham to Konchesky it could cause fresh friction between owners David Sullivan and David Gold and their St Andrews successors.
