Birmingham City have outmaneuvered Huddersfield Town to sign Alfie May, last season’s top scorer in League One. The Blues secured May for a £775,000 fee, beating the Terriers, who showed interest only recently. May, who netted 23 goals for Charlton Athletic, is a significant acquisition for Birmingham’s new American owners, who aim to return to the Championship immediately.

In addition to May, Birmingham is close to finalizing a deal for Sparta Rotterdam defender Mike Eerdhuijzen. The 23-year-old made 20 appearances in the Eredivisie last season and looks forward to proving himself in English football. New manager Chris Davies is being actively supported to lead the club back to the Championship.

Five things we learned against the Hawks

01/07/2024 Raymond 0

Firstly, credit must be given to the Hawks, who were hungrier and outperformed West Coast in every aspect of the game at Optus Stadium. Warning signs were evident from the opening plays for the Eagles, and the gap could have been much larger than 17 points at the first break if Hawthorn had capitalized on their chances. Unfortunately, as the game progressed, things did not improve, with key statistics overwhelmingly in favor of Hawthorn. As coach Adam Simpson noted post-game, this defeat highlighted a collective failure to match Hawthorn’s hunt and pressure, which overwhelmed West Coast.

Ipswich Town make offer for Leeds United and Leicester City target

Ipswich Town has reportedly made a verbal offer to Tottenham Hotspur for defender Joe Rodon, as revealed by Alasdair Gold. On the other hand, Leeds United is gearing up for another season in the Championship after finishing third last season, narrowly missing out on automatic promotion behind Ipswich Town and Leicester City. Despite a strong campaign, Daniel Farke’s side lost in the play-off final to Southampton, condemning them to another Championship campaign.

Rodon, 26, spent the previous season on loan at Leeds United, featuring prominently with 46 Championship appearances and four outings in the FA Cup. His opportunities at Spurs have been limited since the 2020/21 season, making just 15 Premier League appearances, suggesting his tenure at the club may be nearing its conclusion.

While Leeds United and Leicester City have also shown interest in the Welsh defender this summer, it is Ipswich Town that has taken the initiative with a verbal offer. Although the offer remains informal, Ipswich’s proactive approach this summer could prompt Leeds and Leicester to accelerate their pursuit of Rodon. Ipswich Town’s ambitious moves in the transfer market, including the recent signing of Omari Hutchinson, underscore their determination to strengthen the squad ahead of their upcoming season in pursuit of top-flight promotion.
