Lyndon Dykes Joins Birmingham City from QPR

Lyndon Dykes has completed a move to Birmingham City from Queens Park Rangers for an undisclosed fee, reportedly around £1 million. The 28-year-old Scotland international, who has scored nine goals in 36 caps, joins Birmingham as they aim to bounce back to the Championship after a disappointing season. Dykes expressed excitement about the club's ambitions and the quality of players around him, stating his desire to help the club achieve its goals. He has previously scored 37 goals in 165 appearances for QPR and recently missed Euro 2024 due to an ankle injury sustained in training. Birmingham's recruitment strategy has intensified following their relegation, with Dykes being their 14th signing of the summer. The club aims to enhance their attacking options, complementing existing players like Alfie May and Lukas Jutkiewicz.
