Highly-rated Diony linked with Blues

Birmingham City are being linked with a summer move for Dijon striker Lois Diony.

Harry Redknapp is reported to be keen on the 24-year-old Frenchman who scored 11 goals from 35 appearances in Ligue 1 last season.

Diony is said to be valued at £3m although it was recently claimed that Dijon were demanding £13m following interest from Premier League side Bournemouth.

Fellow Ligue 1 clubs Monaco, Lille, Bordeaux and Nice are also rumoured to be competing for his signature.
