Birmingham City are considering a summer move for Sunderland left-back Dennis Cirkin and are now competing with fellow Championship clubs Southampton and Watford to sign him, according to a report from Sports Boom. The Blues are looking to add a new left-back and are monitoring the 23-year-old, who has received limited game time under manager Regis Le Bris, making 6 appearances and providing 1 assist in the Premier League this season. Although late talks have been occurring over a new contract at the Stadium of Light, his current deal expires in the summer. As a result, the defender, who reportedly earns £20k-a-week, is set to be available on a free transfer. Cirkin, who holds English and Irish citizenship, joined Sunderland in August 2021 and has a current market value of €8.00m, according to Transfermarkt.
