McLeish hints at Benitez deal
13 Mar 2010 - 11:13:33
Birmingham City boss Alex McLeish is still weighing up the possibility of signing striker Christian Benitez on a permanent basis at the end of the season.
The 23-year-old Ecuador international has scored three goals in 29 appearances for the Blues this term, following his arrival on an initial season-long loan from Santos Laguna, leaving McLeish with a tricky decision to make.
He told the Birmingham Mail: "We have still got to make that decision. He definitely gives us something, but he's still a work in progress.
"In terms of the English league he has still got things to learn. He had a recent injury and his confidence levels went a bit low.
"But he showed good things when he came on as a substitute in the FA Cup game at Portsmouth and looked his old self again in the league game with them on Tuesday.
"He hasn't scored many goals, but his six or seven assists have been really valuable in getting us into the position we are in at the moment."
