The Birmingham City striker is a rumoured target for his former boss at Stoke City.

Birmingham City fans are reacting to reports their former manager, Gary Rowett, is interested in taking Che Adams to Stoke City.

According to the Telegraph, Rowett’s new side will make a £5 million move for the Birmingham striker he signed two summers ago, in January.

Adams, who was also linked with Derby County while his former boss was in charge there, has scored eight goals and set up two in 17 games for the Blues this season, and the Telegraph reports Garry Monk’s side will be reluctant to sell the 22-year-old, who has three-and-a-half years left on his contract.

And many of the Birmingham faithful are equally defiant, it seems.

This is what they are saying on Twitter:

Birmingham currently sit two points and as many positions above Stoke in the Championship table – another reason the Blues are unlikely to entertain their former boss’s advances.

Stoke spent more money than any other second tier club in the summer transfer window, and were many people’s pre-season title favourites.

Could Stoke prise Adams away from Birmingham in January?
