Jarosik to remain at Birmingham

BIRMINGHAM’S on-loan midfielder Jiri Jarosik has turned down the chance to join Russian club Zenit St Petersburg.

Zenit coach Vlastimil Petrzela was hoping to sign the Chelsea player during the January transfer window.

But the midfielder, who played for CSKA Moscow before moving to Stamford Bridge, is keen to help Birmingham in their battle to stay in the Barclays Premiership.
