Olivier Kapo insists he does not want to leave Birmingham, despite speculation he is set to sign for another Premier League club.

The attacking midfielder is the Blues' joint top-scorer with five goals this season, and Wigan, Sunderland and Portsmouth have been linked with him.

But Kapo, who joined Birmingham last summer in a £3million move from Juventus, is adamant he is content with the Blues and says he is set to stay and help manager Alex McLeish avoid relegation to the Championship.

"I am confident about our team," Kapo told the Birmingham Mail. "We have a good manager and staff, we have good players.

"I like the city, my family is happy, it's good here. There are no problems. I don't want to move.

"The most important thing for me is that we win games because now, the situation isn't the best.

"It's good for me (the speculation) but I play for Birmingham. I have signed for three years and I like it here."

McLeish is also keen to see Kapo stay at St Andrews and claims it would take an "exceptional bid" to lure the 27-year-old away.

"We don't have to let him (Kapo) go and unless it is an exceptional bid, I don't see why we have to let players of his quality leave," McLeish added.

"At the same time I've added to the forwards and it is difficult to keep everyone happy.

"He has got flashes of brilliance and he is looking fit and strong. He is a terrific player when he is in that kind of mood."
