Blues winger delighted by St Andrews switch
Birmingham new boy Jean Beausejour says he is relishing the prospect of playing in the Premier League for the club.
The Chilean winger arrived St Andrews on transfer deadline day from Mexican side Club America in a reported £4million move after the Blues had tracked his progress.
Beausejour enjoyed a sterling World Cup for Chile, prompting City boss Alex McLeish to swoop for the 26-year-old on a three-year deal.
And the midfielder says he is delighted to have completed a move to the Midlands outfit, citing the club's desire to secure his signature as the prevailing factor in the deal.
Beausejour told
Radio Agricultura: "I am very happy and proud to get the chance to play in such an important league, the most watched in the world and where the best football is being played.
"I am also very happy to have the chance to arrive at a team that made a very big effort to give me this chance.
Satisfaction
"I have signed a very good contract, at this league's level. All the parts involved are satisfied. I have signed a three-year deal.
"I feel that all that I am getting in my career is thanks to a lot of work and effort. I am arriving at a team that has been watching me for a long time and I am very happy for that."
Beausejour agreed terms at Birmingham on the same day McLeish sealed moves for fellow midfielder Alexander Hleb and centre-back Martin Jiranek.
The Chilean said his preferred position was a wide-left berth, although he insisted he is happy to play anywhere on the pitch.
He added: "I like to play on the left but I will do it where the coach wants me to.
"From speaking to him, he wants me to play where I like most and feel comfortable, and that is on the left."
