Birmingham City, along with several other clubs, are monitoring George Byers’ situation at Sheffield Wednesday this summer, as per the latest reports.
The 2023/24 season ended bitterly for Birmingham City. Despite a strong start, highlighted by their entry into the play-off spots after defeating West Bromwich Albion, their season took a drastic downturn. The decision to replace John Eustace with Wayne Rooney proved disastrous, leading to a rapid decline in form and a relegation finish.
Though Birmingham City reached the traditional safety mark of 50 points in the Championship, it wasn’t enough this time around. Hull City’s failure to secure a point on the final day sealed Birmingham’s fate, much to the disappointment of their supporters.
Now, attention turns to off-field efforts to ensure the squad is capable of bouncing back to the Championship next season and avoiding a stint in League One.
One potential addition to Birmingham’s roster is Sheffield Wednesday’s George Byers, who has fallen out of favor at his current club. Byers, with promotion experience at Watford and Sheffield Wednesday, presents an option for Birmingham’s return to the Championship.
Despite being sidelined by Sheffield Wednesday’s change in management, Byers showcased his abilities during a loan spell at Blackpool. Birmingham, along with other clubs like Bolton Wanderers, Oxford United, Rotherham United, and Huddersfield Town, are reportedly interested in signing Byers as a free agent this summer.
Amidst tough competition from clubs potentially in League One next season, Birmingham City stands out as an appealing destination for Byers. With a sizable budget and potential for success, Birmingham could be an attractive career move for the midfielder.
