  1. Yeovil sign Birmingham youngster Wodskou on loan

    Yeovil Town have signed teenage Birmingham City forward Ben Wodskou on a season-long loan.

    The 18-year-old spent time on loan at National League North side Rushall Olympic last season and has featured for Blues' first team during pre-season.

    "Ben is a young striker with huge potential," said Yeovil boss Mark Cooper.

    "He's already shown he can handle the physicality of men's football and has the hunger to make an impact."

  5. 'All eyes on this season' - Davies

    Birmingham City manager Chris Davies says the club can become well established in the Championship in the near future.

    Davies believes that strengthening the squad during this summer transfer window will ease the transition from League One to Championship football.

    "We're ready in the sense we've brought players in, we've still probably got a little bit more to do as the window goes on," Davies told BBC Radio WM.

    "You definitely want a squad that you feel can be competitive to start the season, so I think we've got that."

    The Blues will play Premier League side Nottingham Forest at St Andrew's in their final pre-season fixture on Saturday.

    "This weekend's going to be a measure against a really quality Premier League side," he said.

    "Hopefully we can finish pre-season in the next week well and then we're ready to go.

    "It's all eyes on this season now and what we need to do."

    Tommy Doyle has made 24 Premier League appearances for Wolverhampton Wanderers

    Birmingham City midfielder Tommy Doyle said the club feels "very much together" in preparation for its return to the Championship after last season's record-breaking promotion from League One.

    The 23-year-old, who joined Blues on a season-long loan from Wolverhampton Wanderers, is one of seven new players brought in by boss Chris Davies as the club attempts to build on the momentum of their title-winning campaign in the third tier.

    "I feel like this club is very together," Doyle told BBC Radio WM.

    "You can feel that from the fans, to the manager, the players and the owners, and it's going to take everybody to get us to where we need to get to.

    "We're feeling good at the moment. We've got all the foundations to do that, so it's up to us to go out and make it happen."

    Doyle, who joined Wolves a year ago from Manchester City, said the way Davies gets his team to play - including attacking midfielders playing in the 'number 10' role - was a big part of him wanting to come to Blues.

    "You have to look at a team that suits you," Doyle added.

    "When I spoke to the gaffer in the summer, he told me what he wanted from me and where he sees me - I enjoyed that conversation.

    "But now is the time to go out and do the work - and I'm just ready to go."
