Kenny Miller has turned down a move to Birmingham City and has accepted an "irresistible" offer to join Turkish champions Bursaspor.

A fee of around £650,000 had been agreed by Birmingham City and Rangers but the goal-getter chose a move to the Turkish side over a move to St Andrew's.

A statement on the official Birmingham City website said: "The club pulled out all the stops in an attempt to bring the Scotland international striker, who attracted offers from several top European clubs, to St Andrew's.

"However, the offer from Bursaspor proved to be too good for Miller to turn down and the 31-year-old has now decided to undertake the next chapter of his career in the Turkish Super Lig.

"The Glasgow Rangers man was said to have been torn over the last seven days as he considered his future and the decision to turn down the chance to link up with Alex McLeish again came as a very difficult one.

"Despite this unavoidable set back, Blues fans can rest assured that the board and management team are continuing in their efforts to further complement the playing squad."

The news comes just 24 hours after the deal to bring Robbie Keane to St Andrew's also collapsed.

The total financial package for the Spurs frontman, factoring in wages of around £65,000-a-week over the length of a likely contract, would have been around £18million.
