Championship side Birmingham City will be hoping to build their squad around some of their current youngsters in years to come, with their board not looking as though they will be investing heavily in transfers anytime soon.

Two players in particular that could prove to be exciting are Jordan James and Jobe Bellingham, with the former managing to win a respectable 17 league appearances this term.
