Bristol City have missed out on Reda Khadra for a second time after the 21-year-old signed a deal with Birmingham until the end of the season.
Nigel Pearson was hoping to bring the wide attacker to Ashton Gate this month after his loan spell with Sheffield United was cut short. City failed to land him in the summer with Khadra opting to join the Blades.
He endured a disappointing loan spell with Paul Heckingbottom's side following just four league starts and returned to his parent club Brighton and Hove Albion where he signed a new contract until the summer of 2024.
