Birmingham City should think about signing these Premier League players this summer.
- Birmingham City’s turbulent season saw changes in management; Mark Venus is currently in charge due to Tony Mowbray’s illness.
- Potential summer transfer targets include John Egan and Jairo Riedewald to strengthen Birmingham’s squad for the upcoming season.
- Birmingham could benefit from signings like Mark O’Mahony, Adam Davies, and Daniel Jebbison to increase depth and talent in key areas for the team.
Birmingham City’s Championship campaign has been quite eventful.
John Eustace led the Blues to a winning start to the season prior to his contentious dismissal in October.
Substitution Wayne Rooney was eventually replaced after the team collapsed down the table and he was unable to perform as well.
The current manager, Tony Mowbray, had to temporarily step down due to illness, so Mark Venus took over as head coach of the first team squad.
The Midlands company is hoping that their battle to survive this term ends well, so they will continue to keep a watch on the summer market.
These are five Premier League players that the team may try to sign this summer in the upcoming transfer window.
John Egan
After a difficult season in the Premier League with Sheffield United, John Egan’s contract is set to expire at the end of the current campaign.
The Irishman would improve St. Andrew’s defensive options and offer a wealth of elite level experience.
If the centre back can stay healthy, signing him could be a wise decision to strengthen their defence despite his recent injury history.
Jairo Riedewald
Another player who could bring a wealth of elite level experience to Birmingham in the summer is Jairo Riedewald. Ivan Sunjic and Krystian Bielik are a formidable duo for the Blues right now.
But this year, depth has proven to be a problem, and Riedewald might provide fierce competition for midfield spots.
If the Blues can persuade the 27-year-old to accept the drop to the Championship, he could be a wise free agent acquisition as he is currently out of favour and without a contract at Crystal Palace.
Mark O’Mahony
This season at the Amex, the Brighton forward has been on the periphery of the first team roster, but he hasn’t been able to break through.
The young striker has shown a lot of promise at the juvenile level; perhaps the next step in his development is a summer loan move to the Championship.
Moving to St. Andrew’s would be a terrible move for the Irishman, as Mowbray has a reputation for being an excellent coach for young players with a lot of promise.
This could be a great fit for all sides because Birmingham could also use the additional firepower up front.
Adam Davies
In the final moments of the January transfer window, Birmingham made an attempt to sign a custodian, but they were unable to come to an agreement.
Although John Ruddy has been a valuable addition to the team, they might want to consider looking for another option.
At Sheffield United, Davies is the backup choice, but his contract is up and he might prefer to play more frequently.
He might get that playing time at St. Andrew’s, which would increase his chances of being chosen for the Wales national team.
Daniel Jebbison
During his Sheffield United Championship campaigns in the past, Jebbison displayed some promise.
But the forward’s contract at Bramall Lane is about to expire because he has failed to break into the Premier League’s first team.
Moving to Birmingham might be a wise career move and improve Mowbray’s offensive options.
This would be a relatively risk-free move for the Blues as he is a free agent, and they would be adding a young forward with promise who, if he can start living up to his potential, could see a significant increase in value.
