The job title might be a mouthful but Stephen Haines brings almost three decades of experience in securing big commercial deals to Blues. Jeremy Dale says he's 'a world class operator'. birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football…

Birmingham City have won the race for Wolves midfielder Tommy Doyle. The 23-year-old signs on loan for the season. A statement signing by Blues ✍️ birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football…

No mention of an option to buy from either club. Still, signing a midfielder who has played 50 times in the Premier League over the last two seasons with a Championship promotion already on his CV is a significant coup.

This morning's news on Diogo Jota is devastating. It was a pleasure to cover the Wolves team he played in. He was a force of nature who played football freely and Molineux was his playground. birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football…

"In terms of his application every day and his willingness to get in the gym, sit in one-to-one meetings and try to develop through video clips, he was brilliant to work with." An interview with Dean Holden who coached Demarai Gray in Saudi Arabia 👇 birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football…

Only Leicester City are on TV more than Blues in the opening two months of the season. Five of Blues' opening eight matches will be on Sky Sports. birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football…

There's absolutely no doubt about what Blues are aiming for this season. "The ambition is not just to compete, it’s to get straight to the Premier League." Bright Osayi-Samuel 🗣️ birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football…

One thing Birmingham City lacked last season was pace and athleticism. Three of their first four outfield signings this summer - Neumann, Gray and Osayi-Samuel - have that in abundance. The squad already looks built to compete and there's two months of the window left.

Birmingham City have completed the signing of Japan international Kyogo Furuhashi from Rennes on a three-year contract. Big statement of intent. Kyogo scored 85 goals in 165 appearances for Celtic before moving to France in January. birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football…

At this rate, Brian Dick will be saying 'when Birmingham City get promoted' on the next Keep Right On 👀 Six quality signings already through the door and more to come.

It feels like a very good time to share this Keep Right On episode from a couple of weeks ago... Ryan McDonald says Kyogo is 'a special talent' and a striker who thrives in the big games. youtube.com/watch?v=b3jKVt…
