Birmingham City are set to recruit Alex Cochrane.
Football Insider reports that Blues are about to add a left-back to their roster as part of their rebuilding efforts ahead of their inaugural League One season.
It’s hardly surprising that the Midlands club has added a lot of players this summer given the number of players that have left St Andrew’s since the conclusion of the 2023–24 season.
Due to contract expiration, John Ruddy and Neil Etheridge both left the team, and Ryan Allsop and Bailey Peacock-Farrell were much-needed additions to help with the goalkeeping position.
Alfie May is a very significant signing as well; his goal-scoring exploits for Charlton Athletic during the previous season demonstrated his menace in front of goal.
He might prove to be an essential signing for Chris Davies as Blues attempt to return to the Championship at the earliest opportunity, needing additional firepower in the closing third.
Their fourth and most recent summer addition is Emil Hansson, and it might not be long before they bring in more players to bolster their roster’s caliber and depth.
The Midlands club is thought to have a budget of £20 million for the season, which should enable them to bring in a number of more exciting players before the summer transfer market shuts in late August.
Alex Cochrane may soon be recruited by Birmingham City.
Birmingham is reportedly closing in on Hearts left-back Cochrane, with a rumored deal for around £1 million, according to Football Insider.
