Yeung completed his purchase of 29.9% of the club when he purchased shares from David Sullivan, David and Ralph Gold, Karren Brady and Roger Bannister.

Asked about his ambitions for the club Yeung told Sky Sports News: "To be an international team, maybe in Europe in the Champions League in the future."

The Hong Kong businessman has pledged to back manager Steve Bruce and revealed he would provide significant transfer funds during the January window if necessary.

As Yeung mulls over a takeover - owning 30% would mean he would have to make a formal bid - he is also setting his sights on European football.

Yeung said of Bruce: "I didn't know him but I saw him play on the TV. He's a good manager."

Yeung has also revealed his aim for Birmingham is to help the club grow - both on and off the field.

"I don't have any politics and I only want to buy for interest because I love football. I will not let the Birmingham fans down and disappoint them.

"I like the city of Birmingham and have a lot of good plans for the future. I'm very happy and excited.

"The Premier League is the best league in the world and most countries focus on it - especially in China and Hong Kong. We have a great market in China and David Gold and David Sullivan have accepted our plan. As soon as we can I would like to own the whole club."
