The top free agents Birmingham City have chance to sign this week - including ex-Newcastle and Blackburn gems

Birmingham City have the chance to bring in some more new faces over the coming weeks. It has been a busy summer on the recruitment front already for the Blues. They have delved into the market to snap up the likes of Kyogo Furuhashi, Bright Osayi-Samuel and Demarai Gray to bolster their squad, among others.

The Midlands outfit stormed to the League One title and gained promotion at the first time of asking. They smashed the record points tally in the process. Chris Davies’ side went up along with Wrexham and Charlton Athletic in the end. Here is a look at some free agents available to them....

Free agent defensive options for Birmingham City

As per the PFA training camp on X, Angus Gunn has been keeping fit as he looks to find a new home. The goalkeeper, who is a Scotland international, left Norwich City at the end of last season. He is now weighing up his options.

He is an option for Birmingham at the moment. However, they are well stocked up with stoppers at the moment in James Beadle and Ryan Allsop. If there were to be a change in that department though, the ex-Manchester City man would be a shrewd addition.

Jeffrey Schlupp cut ties with Crystal Palace in late June and is considering his next move in the game. The former Ghana international, who made 20 caps, spent the second-half of the last campaign on loan at Celtic. He was given the green light to link up with the Hoops on a temporary basis to get some game time under his belt.

The 32-year-old is versatile and would be a useful option for the Blues. He can play at left-back, left wing or in the middle of the park if needed. The Germany-born man made 247 appearances for the Eagles altogether and scored one goal.

Jamal Lewis is another defender who Davies could sign if needed. His career has hit a bit of a crossroads following his release by Newcastle United. He was loaned out by the North East club to Watford and Sao Paulo over recent times.

Midfield and attacking free agent options for Birmingham City

Brentford opted against handing Josh DaSilva an extension following last term. The Arsenal academy graduate would give Birmingham another player to pick from in midfield. They wouldn’t have to pay a fee to get him which would save money for other targets.

Josh Brownhill is yet to commit his future to Burnley and is technically a free agent now. He fired 18 league goals last term to help the Clarets win promotion to the top flight under the guidance of Scott Parker. Securing his services would be a huge statement of intent by the Blues if they managed to get him. He is likely to be on the radar of a lot of different teams right now though so getting him would be tough.

Blackburn Rovers have seen Tyrhys Dolan head out the exit door recently. He is yet to find a new home yet though and is another who would suit Birmingham. If he joined, he would give Davies something different in attack.
