One winner and one loser at Birmingham City if they conclude deal for Norwich City man

Birmingham City are interested in signing Norwich City winger Przemyslaw Placheta, a report from Polish outlet Meczyki has claimed.

Placheta joined Norwich back in the summer of 2020, and has since scored once in 42 appearances in all competitions for the Canaries.

However, it seems the 24-year-old could now be on the move again this summer, with this latest update claiming that Birmingham are one of the clubs who are interested in signing Placheta.

Winner: Troy Deeney

Deeney endured a frustrating first campaign at Birmingham last season, with the striker scoring just four goals in 21 league games for the club.

That is something that the striker will no doubt be desperate to improve on, and his ability to do so could be vital to the Blues’ hopes of climbing up the Championship table.

The addition of Placheta could potentially help to make that happen, with the chances that the Pole could potentially create, something which could give Deeney the opportunities he needs to start putting the ball in the back of the net, and produce the firepower Birmingham have been hoping for from him.
