Sheehan wants Magpies stay

Birmingham manager Lee Clark will not be tempted to part company with teenage winger Nathan Redmond this summer, despite being linked to a move up to the Premier League.

Redmond, 19, has enjoyed an impressive end to this year's campaign as the Blues steered themselves well clear of relegation trouble with six wins in 11 games.

The youngster has just one year left on his contract and is attracting attention from a number of Premier League clubs, but Clark insists only a hugely substantial bid will prevent Redmond spending another season at St Andrew's.

Clark told the Birmingham Mail: "It would be a crazy decision to cash in on him.

"It would have to take big money, a fantastic offer, for us to part with him.

"Can we keep him? Yes, of course. Why not? He's a superb player. He's a local lad and he's enjoying his football."

Sheehan is one of 15 players out of contract this summer, but the 26-year-old left-back has held initial discussions with Magpies manager Chris Kiwomya about a new deal.

He told BBC Radio Nottingham: "I have had two years here, have played over 80 games and I am happy to be here.

"The fans have been very good. I'd like to be here and have never said I want to leave.

"A few of us have spoken to Chris and we know his plans for next season. I can't really say too much before things goes public but he has plans for next season.

"I think it will be quite exciting and it will nice to be a part of it."
