Jay Stansfield to Birmingham

Birmingham City is on the verge of completing a record-breaking transfer for striker Jay Stansfield from Fulham, with negotiations intensifying as the transfer deadline approaches. After a successful loan spell at Birmingham last season where he scored 13 goals, the 21-year-old has now reportedly accepted personal terms, and a deal worth over £10 million is being finalized. Fulham had initially rejected an earlier bid of around £10 million, with manager Marco Silva expressing his intention to keep Stansfield at the club. However, recent developments indicate that Birmingham is determined to secure his return, potentially setting a new League One transfer record. Despite Fulham's reluctance, confidence remains high among Birmingham officials that the transfer will be completed in time. Should the move go through, it would mark a significant addition as Birmingham aims for a swift return to the Championship.
