After Quarreling With the Head Coach, Birmingham City Key Player Departed From the Team.
The 19-year-old who has been used at left-back in pre-season is wanted by Birmingham, according to Tom Barclay, who has called the League One side’s attempt to bring in the player on loan as “ambitious.”
That part of the pitch is a position that City aren’t exactly short on. Not long ago, they announced the signing of Hearts’ left-sided defender Alex Cochrane for a reported £1.3 million. They also have the likes of Emmanuel Longelo and Josh Williams, who can be used in that left-defensive role too.
It’s been a summer of changes and overhauls following the Blues’ relegation to League One, and they have a humongous warchest of riches to be able to buff out their already ludicrous squad.
£20 million was the reported budget that first-time manager Chris Davies has been given to work with. He joined Birmingham from Tottenham, succeeding Tony Mowbray after he officially left his position as boss of the club.
Davies has a strong coaching pedigree, and he’s seemingly trying to use his connections at the highest level, as well as the ridiculous funds at his disposal, to improve this City side.
Birmingham pursue Tottenham’s Jamie Donley
Donley is a reported target of a majority of the sides in the Championship and League One, according to Barclay. One of the those going after him is City, whom he has a slight connection with due to their boss.
Davies worked with the teenager during his time as Ange Postecolgu’s right-hand man in north London.
Tottenham haven’t decided what they are going to do with Donley yet, but the existing relationship that the Birmingham manager already has with the player and his parent club should hugely increase their chances of acquiring the bright talent.
