Birmingham Eyes Wrexham's Star Midfielder

NFL legend Tom Brady's friendship with Hollywood A-lister Ryan Reynolds might face a test as Birmingham sets its sights on Wrexham's star midfielder. Elliot Lee has been a sensation for promotion-chasing Wrexham, contributing 10 goals and two assists in just 16 appearances this season.

Intriguing Talks on the Horizon

Birmingham co-owner Tom Brady may find himself in intriguing talks with his actor pal Ryan Reynolds as Brum manager Wayne Rooney sets his sights on landing Elliot Lee. Rooney, the former England midfielder, is keen on adding Lee, son of former England midfielder Rob, to his St Andrews squad.

Reynolds' Reaction

It remains to be seen whether Reynolds will be as welcoming if Brady ends up taking away Wrexham's best player. The potential transfer could put their friendship to the test.

Birmingham's Decline

Birmingham has fallen from sixth to 15th in the Championship since Rooney's appointment as manager last month. The pressure is mounting on Rooney as fans express their discontent.

Wrexham's Strong Performance

Wrexham, on the other hand, is currently in the third promotion spot in the fourth tier after coming up as National League champions. Lee has been a standout player for the Dragons, already reaching double figures in goals.

Mullin's Return

Main hitman Paul Mullin has struggled to match Lee's goal-scoring prowess, with only five goals to his name. Mullin returned in September after recovering from a punctured lung.

Interest in Lee

Birmingham's interest in Elliot Lee comes at a crucial time for Rooney, as the pressure mounts on him to improve the team's performance. Lee joined Wrexham from Luton at the start of last season.

Change in Leadership

Birmingham dismissed former manager John Eustace, despite the team sitting in a play-off spot. The club's chief executive cited differences in ambitions as the reason for Eustace's departure.
