Gambian international Abdoulie Manneh, 21, is expected to arrive at St Andrew's within the next 24 hours after Birmingham City agreed a permanent deal with Swedish club Mjallby. The winger has scored seven goals this season in the Allsvenskan after joining in January 2024. He can play on either flank but is more comfortable on the left. Manneh's arrival is intended to add pace to Chris Davies's attack as the club looks to boost its play-off ambitions, and his signing is expected to result in Lewis Koumas returning to Liverpool later this month. Manneh, who has 4 caps and 3 goals for The Gambia, has a contract with Mjallby until the end of 2027 and a current market value of €2.50m, according to Transfermarkt. He had also attracted interest from clubs such as AFC Bournemouth, Stoke City and Coventry City.
