Birmingham City defender Liam Ridgewell says young Argentine Mauro Zarate deserves to be compared with Manchester United star Carlos Tevez.

He said: "The manager has compared him to Tevez and I think that's definitely fair.

"Every day on the training pitch he's been great. Now it's just a matter of taking it into the games.

"Tevez has done well in the Premier League and maybe Mauro can do the same. He's someone who can cause a bit of havoc and roam about. He'll be good for Blues."
