Birmingham City is among several English clubs monitoring the situation of 30-year-old English central midfielder Josh Brownhill at Al Shabab. The club is potentially open to negotiations as they seek to balance their finances. Brownhill is considered a sellable asset, and Birmingham are reportedly interested in adding players who have demonstrated success and have experience competing at the top of the Championship. Hull City, West Ham, Coventry City, Southampton, Wrexham, and Wolves are also monitoring the circumstances of the former Burnley captain. Brownhill joined the Saudi club in September 2025 and his contract is valid until the summer of 2027. Transfermarkt estimates his current market value to be €8.00m.
