Birmingham City star ‘facing uncertain summer’ as ex-West Brom man on West Ham’s radar

The 2022/23 EFL Championship season officially comes to an end today as Luton Town and Coventry City go head-to-head in the play-off final at Wembley Stadium.

Birmingham City and West Brom will know the full outlook of their second tier opponents by Tuesday with the final day of the Premier League season taking place on Sunday followed by the League One play-off final on Monday. Meanwhile, it’s all about the transfer market and the ins and outs that are likely to take place in the next few months.

A Birmingham City star is reportedly facing ‘an uncertain summer’ at St Andrew’s and it’s unclear if he will be leaving or staying with the Blues. Elsewhere, a former West Brom player could be set for a move to West Ham this summer following a transfer ‘hint’ by Hammers boss David Moyes. Here are the latest Birmingham City and West Brom transfer news stories on Saturday, May 27:

Birmingham City star ‘facing uncertain summer’

Per an update from BirminghamLive, Sam Cosgrove faces an uncertain summer and Birmingham City will listen to whatever offers that arrive for him. The former Aberdeen forward scored eight goals in 33 appearances to help Plymouth Argyle win the League One title this season.

The 26-year old arrived at the Blues in 2021 but has spent most of the time since out on loan having also had spells at Shrewsbury Town and AFC Wimbledon. Meanwhile, the same report also claims that Troy Deeney ‘isn’t completely out of the door’ at St Andrew’s yet and could still remain for next season.

Ex-West Brom man on West Ham’s radar

West Ham boss David Moyes says he will look to bolster his squad with British and homegrown players this summer, per quotes in The Standard this week. The Hammers have been linked with moves for England internationals Harvey Barnes and James Ward-Prowse.

Barnes, who spent the 2018-19 season on loan at West Brom, could be relegated with Leicester City tomorrow and would likely leave the Foxes in the summer rather than play in the second tier. Moyes said: “I would say yes, I think I would like to add more a little bit more of British players or homegrown players if we possibly could.”
