Birmingham City want to sign Arsenal loan man Auston Trusty on a permanent deal this summer. The former Colorado Rapids man has been a hit on loan in the Midlands this season. The Blues’ boss John Eustace has said, as per Birmingham Live: “I would love him at the football club going forward. I think everyone connected to Birmingham City would love him to be part of the football club but we also respect he is an Arsenal player, a very good player but it’s something we can hopefully push at the end of the season.”

Midfielder wanted

Caolan Boyd-Munce is attracting interest from clubs in the second tier and in League One following his departure from Middlesbrough, according to a report by Football Insider. The midfielder parted company with Michael Carrick’s side earlier this month after struggling for game time and will be weighing up his next move in the game. He has made two appearances so far this season, with only one coming in the league.

Sheffield United open to defender move

Sheffield United will keep tabs on Ciaran Clark’s situation at Newcastle United at the end of this campaign. The Republic of Ireland international has been on loan at Bramall Lane this term and has helped the Blades get to 2nd in the table. The Star claim they are open to a permanent transfer.
