Birmingham City are reportedly keen on signing the Burnley front-man.

According to a report from the Daily Mail, Burnley striker Nahki Wells is discussing a possible move to Championship side Birmingham City before this evening’s deadline.

The 29-year-old joined the Clarets from Huddersfield Town for £5 million in the summer of 2017, according to BBC Sport, but he has really struggled to establish himself at Turf Moor, racking up just 10 appearances, and failing to score a single goal.

Birmingham certainly need more firepower in the final third, and Wells’s Championship pedigree should serve them well.

The 15-capped Bermuda international hitman racked up 49 goals in 153 appearances for Huddersfield, and he was even more clinical at Bradford, with an impressive 57 goals in 115 appearances to his name.

The Daily Mail (Live transfer blog, 07:38) claims that Wells could be heading to St Andrews, and he is currently discussing the possibility of swapping Lancashire for the west Midlands.

And if the Burnley ace does make to move to Birmingham, he could end up being a decent addition for the Championship outfit.
