the midfielder however it is looking increasingly likely that Blues will beat them
to Doyle’s signature. The deal will reportedly be an initial loan with an option to
buy. This is according to reliable source Football League World.

looks set to return to Birmingham. This comes in the form of Demarai Gray. The former Blues player who played for the club in his early years looks set to return to St. Andrews.
The 28 year-old has been playing his football in Saudi Arabia for El-Ettifaq after leaving Everton in 2023 there Gray has picked up 4 goals and 4 assists over his 2 year spell. The Blues
have reportedly secured the Jamaican on a free with the Saudi club getting a
significant sell on fee.

starter for Everton.
