Transfer Talk: Blues offer Downing two-year deal

Birmingham City have reportedly offered Stewart Downing a two-year deal, according to Sky Sports.

The winger has been the subject of interest from Blues and Harry Redknapp for the vast majority of the transfer window and it now looks like both parties are close to agreeing a deal.

However, Sky are also reporting that Downing is yet to agree personal terms with Blues but Redknapp is hopeful that this won’t be a stumbling block.

Former Aston Villa man Downing has been subjected to training with Middlesbrough’s under 23s but with things finally looking close, he could soon be back playing Championship football.
