Birmingham City midfielder Willum Willumsson is closing in on a move away from the club.<\/p>\n
Willumsson<\/a> missed Blues\u2019 2-0 victory over Oxford United<\/a> in the Championship on Saturday.<\/p>\n Chris Davies<\/a> confirmed in his post-match press conference at the Kassam Stadium that Willumsson is set to complete a transfer before Monday\u2019s 7pm deadline.<\/p>\n Asked whether Willumsson is poised to leave, Davies said: \u201cVery possibly. I don\u2019t know where exactly that is and how much progression that\u2019s taken but yes, that looks likely.\u201d<\/p>\n FOLLOW ON FACEBOOK!<\/strong> All the latest Blues news on Birmingham Live\u2019s Birmingham City FC Facebook page<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Dutch side NEC Nijmegen are the team that has been pursuing Willumsson most aggressively over the past week.<\/p>\n Blues<\/a> signed Willumsson from Go Ahead Eagles 18 months ago and the 27-year-old has a proven track record in the Eredivisie.<\/p>\n Willumsson is the latest in a long line of signings from the summer window of 2024 to head for the exit. Should his move go through, Blues will only have six players left from the 17 they signed in that transfer window.<\/p>\n Blues aren\u2019t expected to replace Willumsson in their squad, instead relying on Kanya Fujimoto \u2014 who has only made two brief cameos in the Championship \u2014 to provide cover for Marvin Ducksch and Jay Stansfield.<\/p>\n Get the latest Blues headlines sent straight to your phone<\/p>\n BirminghamLive has its very own Birmingham City<\/a> WhatsApp community to deliver the latest headlines straight to your phone.
