Steve Bruce confirms Kuqi talks

The 21-year-old striker, younger brother of Ipswich forward Shefki, caught the eye of City scouts and Bruce has opened talks with the player's club, FC Lahti.

"He's a young player who we've been tracking for the best part of three months," said Bruce.

"We hope to have a conversation with his club in the next 24 hours to see if he can come over for a week or 10 days."
