Birmingham City star tipped for top-flight transfer alongside West Brom ace

Birmingham City midfielder Juninho Bacuna could be on his way out of St Andrew’s @ Knighthead Park this summer as a host of European clubs are reportedly interested in acquiring his services.

The Curaçao international, seven times a scorer and six times an assister in 45 Championship matches last season, is firmly in Chris Davies’ plans for next campaign but interest is plentiful abroad.

Tutto Mercato reports Süper Lig duo Sivasspor and Gaziantep are interested in Bacuna. The midfielder has just 12 months left on his Blues contract and the Turkish teams are looking to take advantage. Sassuolo are also keeping tabs.

It would be a great loss if Bacuna were to leave Birmingham as he offers superb versatility. Capable of playing in any midfield role or as a right-back, the 26-year-old is expected to play an important part if he stays put.

Bacuna leaving for Sivasspor would be mean reuniting with Alex Pritchard, who recently depart Blues for the same destination. It could also end up in coming up against a West Bromwich Albion star.

Baggies midfielder Okay Yokuslu has this week been heavily linked with a transfer to Turkish giants Besiktas. The 30-year-old, just like Bacuna, has just 12 months left on his deal and West Brom could cash in if a suitable offer is received.
