2 in, 2 out: 4 realistic Birmingham City transfer dealings we can see happening this summer

Birmingham City boss Lee Bowyer will already have one eye on the summer transfer window as he looks to reshape his squad.

Lyle Taylor joins permanently

There are several loan signings that Birmingham will want to bring in permanently, and Taylor has to be top of the list.

Ivan Sunjic departs

The Croatian was a big-money signing for Birmingham a few years ago but the reality is that he hasn’t hit the heights that
