Birmingham City agrees to a top-tier offer for their 20-year-old standout…

Birmingham City has reportedly accepted an offer from Rennes for midfielder Jordan James, as reported by transfer expert Fabrizio Romano. The club has experienced one of its most profitable transfer windows in recent history as they aim to secure an immediate return to the Championship.

Chris Davies, a former Tottenham Hotspur coach, is in charge of guiding them there once more. He has been given this significant task in his first senior management position by the Blues.

The striking newcomers to St. Andrew’s have garnered much of the attention, but it’s likely that some players will leave before the window closes at 11 p.m. on August 30.

Jordan James is one of those expected to go on, and it appears that a departure is imminent.
