With one week left in the transfer window, Birmingham City could potentially target 25-year-old Lyon playmaker Pavel Šulc to address their need for a creative midfielder. It is reported that Wrexham are planning a move for the Czechia international. Šulc, a World Cup participant, has 24 caps and 5 goals for his country and has also attracted interest from clubs in higher divisions, including Everton and Aston Villa.

He moved to the Ligue 1 club from Viktoria Plzen last summer for a fee of around £6.4m and has contributed to 22 goals in 39 appearances. While acquiring him would be a significant signing for Birmingham, there is an acknowledgement that fans might be skeptical of another high-profile transfer. His contract with the French club runs until 2029. In August 2026, Lyon's asking price was reportedly around £30 million. His current Transfermarkt market value is €20.00m.
