Birmingham are apparently keen on bringing back striker Lyle Taylor from Nottingham Forest, according to a report by Football League World. The Monserrat international has slipped down the pecking order at the City Ground and could move on in January.

Blues ace Tahith Chong is hoping to add more goals and assists to his game and has said, as per Birmingham Live: “I think for the target has been trying to add more to the stats in terms of goals and assists. I am working hard on that. I have been really enjoying it and it’s so much easier to play your football when you are enjoying it.

“I am due one, it’s weird because I feel like every time I am getting into the good positions. At Blackburn there was a bit of luck I am looking for, hitting the post, or a defender blocking last minute, I have had two to or three of those.”
