BRUM BACK IN FOR ACHILLE EMANA

City keen despite Real Betis midfielder off to African Nations

REAL DEAL - Achille Emana tackles Stevie G

ALEX McLEISH intends to go back in for Achille Emana even though the Real Betis midfielder will be unavailable for a month.

The Birmingham boss planned a loan deal for the Cameroon star last summer but never really got the scheme off the ground.

Real Betis, relegated to the Spanish second division, want a straight £8million cash.

That is within Brum's budget yet Emana, 27, misses four weeks for the African Cup.
