Recent updates from BirminghamLive regarding Birmingham City include clarifications on Jay Stansfield’s loan from Premier League side Fulham.
Great news for Birmingham City fans, as Jay Stansfield is set to remain with the club until the end of the season. Fulham has opted not to recall the 21-year-old striker, despite interest from other Championship clubs, including promotion-chasing Ipswich Town. Stansfield, currently the top goalscorer for Birmingham City with nine goals across all competitions and two assists in the Championship, has become a favorite among the supporters at St Andrew’s.
New manager Tony Mowbray has expressed interest in signing Stansfield permanently, indicating after a recent victory that the club should be in the market for him if a feasible deal can be worked out. Mowbray mentioned that Stansfield appears to enjoy his time at the club, further fueling the possibility of a more permanent arrangement.
Tony Mowbray, Birmingham City’s manager, has provided insights into Jay Stansfield’s preference to continue playing in the Championship rather than seeking a place on the bench in the Premier League. Mowbray highlighted that Stansfield seems to enjoy actively participating in the championship and scoring goals, emphasizing that the decision ultimately lies with Fulham.
With Stansfield’s loan extension settled, Birmingham City can now shift their focus to strengthening Mowbray’s squad as the January transfer window approaches its closure next week. The recent addition of Andre Dozzell on loan from QPR has already been secured, and there are indications that South Korean midfielder Paik Seung-ho could be the next player to join the team.
