Birmingham City are in need of star power, and Jordan Graham could provide them with that.

As we approach the conclusion of the Championship season, many teams are already looking towards the summer as they try and improve the quality of their squads for the 2018/19 campaign.

One team in particular who will be looking to strengthen is Birmingham City, as they continue their attempts to stay in the second tier under new boss Garry Monk. The Blues have improved substantially over the course of his three games at the helm, with their latest result being a confidence boosting 3-0 triumph over Hull City.

While there is every chance that they could drop into League One come the end of the season, they need to be thinking positively ahead of what is bound to be a stressful few months.

They have the infrastructure, they have the renewed confidence and they have the squad necessary to make a real push for the top half next year if they can get out of their current slump.

So with that in mind, it is time to start thinking outside of the box – and that begins with a potential move for Jordan Graham. The 23-year-old winger has been on the outskirts of the first team all season at Molineux, and the Wolverhampton Wanderers youngster is in desperate need of a move away in the summer.

He is likely going to go on the market as a free agent, which makes the Blues’ task even easier. Under Monk, the club are going to seem much more appealing to an incoming player than when they had Steve Cotterill in charge, and when it comes to Graham, the move makes perfect sense.

He is tricky, creative, and is young enough to the point where he can be utilised effectively for a few years to come. Also, and this is the real cherry on top, he was a product of Aston Villa’s youth system from the age of just seven.

The Coventry-born Graham moving to the Blues would be a source of annoyance for Villa fans, especially considering he would probably have done a solid job at Villa Park if given the chance. Above that, however, he would be able to carve out a career in the city he knows and loves.
