11 realistic free agents Birmingham City could sign - including ex-Tottenham, Leeds United, Valencia & QPR men

A look at 11 free agents Birmingham City could realistically sign as Tony Mowbray shops around this January transfer window.

Tony Mowbray has a tricky job on his hands to turn things around at Birmingham City following the disastrous reign of Wayne Rooney, but the presence of the January transfer window could aid his case somewhat.

Blues have until 11pm on February 1 to complete their business, giving Mowbray plenty of time to assess his squad and make the necessary changes. The cash can't be splashed willy-nilly due to Profitability and Sustainability (P&S) restrictions but other means exist.

One avenue to potentially explore - in addition to loans - is the free agent market, a place that has reaped rewards for Blues in the past. Jordan Graham, John Ruddy, Kevin Long, and Koji Miyoshi are just some of the recent success stories, for instance.

It may come as a surprise as we're mid-season and other clubs are in similar positions to Birmingham, but there are still a whole host of options out there to sign for free. Birmingham World has taken a look, finding 11 players Mowbray's side could perhaps turn to.
