Birmingham Firesale

Premier League clubs have been put on ‘Birmingham watch’ as takeover talks continue at St Andrew’s.

The players taking centre stage are goalkeeper Jack Butland and midfielder Nathan Redmond.

Reports in The Daily Mirror suggest current owner Car(son) Yeung could be forced to sell his young Brum stars if a new owner fails to materialise. Yeung is facing money laundering charges in Hong Kong and his assets have been frozen leaving The Blues on thin ice financially.

Manchester City are favourites to capture 18 year old Redmond while Everton and Stoke have shown plenty of interest in England’s Butland.
