Five Premier League clubs want Birmingham City star, Ipswich Town leading pursuit

Birmingham City star Jordan James is of interest to Ipswich Town, Southampton, Leicester City, Brighton and Brentford, according to HITC.

Birmingham City have enjoyed a fruitful summer transfer window to date with a host of ambitious signings made ahead of the new campaign.

Relegation often leads to the departures of some key players but as things stand, exits have been kept to a minimum. Alex Pritchard was sold to Sivasspor but all others to move on did so at the end of their contract.

Among those widely tipped to move to a higher level – perhaps regardless of whether the Blues were relegated or not – is 20-year-old Wales international Jordan James. The midfielder has emerged as a standout at St. Andrew’s and has had high profile interest before.

Now, HITC claims five Premier League clubs are on his trail.

They claim that the Birmingham City academy graduate is wanted by Ipswich Town, Southampton, Leicester City, Brighton and Brentford. As things stand though, it’s the promoted Tractor Boys who are trying to work out a deal and currently lead the pursuit for James.

Serie A side Atalanta remain keen after January interest too with the Hereford-born prospect still expected to move on from the club.
