Huddersfield Town are the latest club reported to be showing interest in Blues youngster Dylan Crowe.
According to The Sun, the Terriers, relegated back to the Championship in 2018/19, have had a £300,000 offer for the 18-year-old right-back rejected by the Blues.
Crowe, who joined Town aged 12, completed his two-year academy scholarship this season but is yet to agree professional terms with the Blues. If he moves on without having signed a professional contract the club would be due compensation from his new side for his years in the academy.
Previously there have been reports of interest from the likes of Arsenal, Manchester United, Brighton, RB Leipzig, Borussia Mönchengladbach and Benfica in the England U18 international.
Shortly before the end of the season, manager Paul Lambert said discussions were continuing between Crowe’s representatives and Town.
"He’s a young one developing at the minute so I’m pretty sure the club and his people will be talking,” he said.
Meanwhile, incoming striker James Norwood, who as per Saturday’s story is close to concluding his Bosman free move to the Blues from Tranmere, is reported to have agreed a three-year deal from July 1st, almost certainly with the addition of a one-year option.
The move is expected to be finalised when he returns from a post-season break with his Rovers team-mates, his 32 goals having helped them to promotion via the League Two play-offs.
