The agent of Birmingham City centre-back Roger Johnson insists that the club have revealed to him that they will allow the 28-year-old to leave the club.

Johnson has reportedly been courted by the likes of Liverpool and Tottenham during the 2010-11 season and after Blues were relegated from the Premier League, his agent Paul Smith insists that the player is “in demand” and will be free to move away from St Andrew’s this summer.

“Without breaching any confidences I’ve had a call from Birmingham to declare that they would have to let him go,” he told talkSPORT.

“And at 28-years-old and having played every game in the Premier League for two seasons running he is in demand for sure. It’s just a matter of who he goes to I think.

“The player is one of those who gives his all and having met the manager it was pretty obvious that he knew the player needed to stay at that level and they need to raise funds.

“I think it is a financial decision. For them to declare it they are obviously weighing up who it will be better to let go and strategically how they’re going to plan to get back.

“They felt that they would have to trade him to get others in.”
