Birmingham City are reportedly interested in signing Hull City striker Mallik Wilks this summer.

According to Football Insider, Blues are keen on bringing the 23-year-old to St Andrew’s as the striker has fallen down the pecking order under Tigers boss Shota Arveladze.

The striker featured heavily under the Tigers’ previous boss Grant McCann, but he has found minutes hard to come by under Arveladze, who joined the club while Wilks was out injured.

Wilkes has scored nine goals in 53 Championship appearances and 33 times in 90 League One games.
