Birmingham City head coach John Eustace has revealed that the club are not currently looking to move on Jonathan Leko during the transfer window. Leko returned to St Andrew’s earlier this year after spending the majority of the 2021/22 campaign on loan at Charlton Athletic.

During his time with the Addicks, the winger only managed to show glimpses of his ability in the third-tier. In the 25 league games that he participated in, Leko scored two goals and provided three assists for Charlton as they sealed a 13th-place finish in the standings.

Since linking up with Birmingham following the expiry of his temporary deal at The Valley, the 23-year-old has been handed the opportunity to prove his worth in pre-season.

Leko has played in all four of the club’s friendlies this summer and could potentially be in line to feature against Rayo Vallecano on Saturday.
