Birmingham City target and Werder Bremen striker Oliver Burke is set to join a Championship club.
According to Darren Witcoop, Burke is set to sign for a Championship club and it looks like it will be the Blues’ who secure his signature.
Witcoop also said that QPR had looked at a potential deal for the Scottish striker, but it now looks like he will be a move to the second city on a free transfer.
Who is Oliver Burke?
Oliver Burke is a 26-year-old striker who joined Werder Bremen last summer on a free transfer following the expiry of his contract at Sheffield United.
He has spent the second half of the least two seasons on loan at Millwall, scoring two goals in 17 appearances last season as the Lions just missed out on the play-offs.
He burst into the scene back in the summer of 2016, where he scored four goals in the opening five Championship games of the season. This attracted interest from the top clubs in England and abroad.
This led to him moving to RB Leipzig in the German Bundesliga for a fee believed to be around £13 million, which set a new record for a transfer involving a Scottish player.
He the moved back to England a year later, joining West Bromwich Albion for £15 million. He then also spent time on loan out at Celtic and Alaves in Spain, before joining Sheffield United.
Birmingham have been looking to bolster their striking options, and it appears they have gone to Burke after missing out on former Cardiff loanee Sory Kaba, who instead chose Las Palmas.
