Zigic laughs off Sporting talk

Birmingham striker Nikola Zigic has played down reports linking him with a January move to Sporting Lisbon and insists he is happy at St Andrew's. Zigic made the £6million move from Valencia to Blues during the summer transfer window. He has so far struggled to command a regular first-team spot although he did net his first Barclays Premier League goal last weekend against Arsenal in a rare start. But the Serbia international has laughed off claims he will be ready to leave City after only a few months. Zigic told Press Association Sport: "I was aware of the speculation about Sporting Lisbon and I found it quite amusing. "But really I am a Birmingham player. I enjoy being here. I am certainly going to try my best for the club and something I want to do is progress my career here. "You always get some speculation from other clubs and what have you. But I am a Birmingham player, I signed a contract in the summer, I enjoy playing with the boys, we are a good squad and I'm more than happy being here."
