Leeds United plot move
Birmingham City are splashing the cash after relegation to League One, but they could now lose a key player this summer. Latest reports suggest that Leeds United are interested in Blues man Jordan James. The 20-year-old midfielder could replace Glen Kamara, who has been sold to Rennes for a fee reportedly in excess of £8m. James, a Wales international, has made 105 appearances for Birmingham and scored 10 goals.
Boro set sights on striker
Tommy Conway’s future is evidently away from Bristol City, with the centre-forward not signing a new contract and subsequently training with the under-21s. The Robins are looking to cash in on the front man – and interest from Middlesbrough has now emerged. Conway has been heavily linked with Celtic and Wolves this summer, too. But, it’s stated that initial discussions are ongoing with Boro – though no deal has been agreed yet. Conway earned a call-up to Scotland’s squad for Euro 2024, having top scored at Ashton Gate for the past two seasons.
Blades make move for full back
According to reports, Sheffield United are closing in on the loan signing of Ki-Jana Hoever from Wolves. The 22-year-old has spent the last two seasons on loan at Stoke City – he provided nine goal contributions in 40 league appearances in the last campaign. The Blades are building a strong squad after relegation from the Premier League – and Hoever could fill the void left behind, after Jayden Bogle’s move to Leeds United.
