Former Barcelona starlet Alen Halilovic has signed for Birmingham City on a deal set to run until the end of the season.
The 24-year-old had been on the lookout for a new club after being released by AC Milan in October, and Blues boss Aitor Karanka has managed to convince him to continue his development at St Andrew's.
Halilovic has been handed the No.35 shirt by Birmingham and, although he will not be registered in time to make his debut against Luton Town at Kenilworth Road on Tuesday night, he could get his first taste of Championship action in a home clash against Millwall at the weekend.
