Birmingham City co-owner David Sullivan is pleased with the quality of player that the club has been able to entice to St Andrew's this summer.

The purchase of Lee Bowyer was City's seventh signing since the end of last term with the arrival of Ecuador international Christian Benitez being of particular delight to Sullivan.

He said: "Believe me, some of the biggest clubs in the world were keeping tabs on Benitez so it's a great coup for us and I hope he proves to Blues fans just how good he is.

"We also sealed a deal to bring Lee Bowyer to Blues on a two-year deal. He showed his quality at the back end of last season and played his part in helping us gain promotion back to the Premier League.

"Bowyer's signing was our seventh of the summer. Anyone who scoffed when we said a few weeks ago that we were looking to bring in ten new faces to bolster the squad may now be forced to admit that we meant what we said.

"These are really positive times for everyone connected to the club."
