Birmingham City Still In Race For Fulham Striker | OneFootball

Birmingham City have are still in the race to sign Fulham striker Jay Stansfield on deadline day, according to the Daily Telegraph.

The Blues shocked everyone earlier today when they tabled a League One record bid of £10m for the Fulham striker.

The Premier League club knocked back the bid as Fulham boss Marco Silva rates the young striker highly and wants to keep him around.

Birmingham were said to be frustrated by their unprecedented bid getting rejected by the West London club.

However, Stansfield joining the League One club today is still very much a possibility in the final hours of the transfer window.

Birmingham are still interested in the forward and are holding discussions over getting a deal done to sign him.

Any permanent move would be a League One record signing given the staggering nature of their earlier bid.

Stansfield impressed on loan at Birmingham and they want him to power their promotion bid from League One this season.
