Cisse Capture Close

Last updated : 09 June 2004 By Garreth Hyde
Bolton originallly tried to sign the Birmingham midfielder on a free, but Steve Bruce demanded a fee for unsettled Cisse.

It appears the deal will be completed in the next few days after Cisse passed a medical at the Reebok Stadium last week.

Chairman Phil Gartside told SkySports.com

"Birmingham have accepted our offer and it is just a matter of finalising things," said Gartside.

"The player has been for a medical and passed with flying colours.

"Now things are up to Sam really."

Finally things start to be looking up on the transfer front after todays capture of Michael Bridges.
