Transfer latest: Rivalry club battles Birmingham City star player

Despite the club’s terrible run of form, which has cost Wayne Rooney his job, Jay Stansfield has been a shining light for Birmingham City in recent times.

Rooney left St Andrew’s following Birmingham’s 3-0 defeat to Leeds United on New Year’s Day, which sent the Blues to 20th position in the Championship table.

However, Fulham loanee Stansfield has continued to impress for the Blues throughout his loan term in the West Midlands.

The 21-year-old has seven league goals in 24 league games, making him the club’s leading scorer. Given his age and goal-scoring record in a struggling side, it’s no wonder that other clubs are interested in the former Exeter City man.

The Birmingham Mail reported last week that Fulham had not informed Birmingham City of any plans to recall Stansfield this month, but Rooney acknowledged that the Cottagers could do so if they so choose.
