Liverpool’s Ryan Babel, who has failed to impress since his move from Ajax in 2007, has been the subject of a bid from high-flying Birmingham, according to his representative, Winnie Haatrecht.

“We know that Liverpool are seriously thinking about the offer from Birmingham, we would consider a deal if both clubs come to an agreement," Haatrecht told De Telegraaf. “In general Ryan wants to succeed at Liverpool, but if the people at Anfield conclude it’s better he leaves, we have to think about the next chapter in his career.”

There were high expectations for the Dutch attacker, who was purchased for an amount in the region of £11.5M. The 23-year-old has however, failed to live up to the hype, and manager Rafa Benitez is considering moving him on to a club where he can earn more regular playing time.
