Birmingham City should consider moving for 1 of these 5 Premier League players

Birmingham City’s Championship campaign has been rocky.

The Blues had a promising start to the season under John Eustace before his contentious dismissal in October.

Replacement Wayne Rooney did not fare well, and the squad dropped down the standings before he was eventually replaced.

Tony Mowbray is the current manager, although he has had to step away briefly due to illness, leaving Mark Venus in command of the first team squad.

The Midlands outfit will continue to keep one eye on the summer market, hoping that their quest for survival this season will end positively.

Here are five Premier League players the team could seek in the next summer transfer market.

John Egan

John Egan has struggled with Sheffield United in the Premier League and will be out of contract at the end of the season.

The Irishman may bring a wealth of top-flight experience to St. Andrew’s, bolstering their defensive capabilities.

While his recent injury history is concerning, signing the centre-back could be a wise decision to strengthen their backline if he can stay fit.

Jairo Riedewald

Jairo Riedewald is another player that could bring a lot of top flight experience to Birmingham in the summer.

The Blues’ have a strong partnership at the moment between Ivan Sunjic and Krystian Bielik.

However, depth has proven an issue this year and Riedewald could bring strong competition for places in midfield.

The 27-year-old is out of favour and out of contract at Crystal Palace, so could be a shrewd free agent signing for the Blues if they can convince him to take the step down to the Championship.

Mark O’Mahony

This season, the Brighton forward has been on the margins of the first-team squad at the Amex, but he has yet to break through.

The teenage attacker has shown great promise at youth level, and a loan move to the Championship this summer might be the next stage in his development.

The Irishman could do a lot worse than come to St. Andrew’s, where Mowbray has established himself as an excellent coach for young talents with a lot of promise.

Birmingham might benefit from increased front-line firepower, making this a mutually beneficial agreement.

Adam Davies

Birmingham attempted to sign a goalkeeper in the dying stages of the January window, but were unable to secure a deal.

John Ruddy has been a good addition to the squad, but it may be time to look for another option to have at their disposal.

Davies is second-choice at Sheffield United, but is out of contract and may want to play more regularly.

A move to St. Andrew’s could earn him that game time, which could also boost his chances of selection in the Wales international team.

Daniel Jebbison

Jebbison demonstrated some potential in prior Championship campaigns with Sheffield United.

However, the forward has been unable to break into the Premier League first team, and his contract at Bramall Lane is now expiring.

A transfer to Birmingham might be a wise next step in his career, strengthening Mowbray’s attacking options.

As a free agent, this would be a reasonably risk-free move for the Blues, adding a talented young forward to their ranks who may see his worth skyrocket if he starts living up to his full potential.
