Birmingham City now face competition from Barnsley and Huddersfield Town for a key transfer target this summer, according to The Athletic. The Blues are prepared to invest significantly to support Chris Davies and aim to make their stay in League One as brief as possible. Davies is eager to strengthen his midfield options and add creativity to the squad.

This search has led Birmingham to Brighton & Hove Albion midfielder Marc Leonard, who shone at Northampton Town on loan last term. Birmingham have been playing the waiting game on Leonard, but the race for his signature has now become tougher. Fellow League One clubs Barnsley and Huddersfield have also joined the hunt for him. Both clubs have aspirations of promotion in the approaching campaign and have the finances to give Birmingham real competition for Leonard.

Brighton are prepared to cash in on the 22-year-old this summer, but he has started pre-season with the Seagulls.
