BREAKING NEWS; Birmingham City manager Chris Davies has commented on the 27-year-old’s transfer predicament, saying there has been “definite interest.”

Birmingham City manager Chris Davies confirmed there was ‘interest’ in Paik Seung-ho during the summer.

Birmingham City kept the midfielder even after the transfer market closed last month, despite potential interest from other clubs.

Seung-ho, 27, has been an important performer for the Blues this season, following their relegation to League One. They were relegated from the Championship this year after finishing in the bottom three alongside Huddersfield Town and Rotherham United.

According to BirminghamLive, Daies stated, “There was definitely interest in him, but I was very consistent all along that he would be a key player this season and in future years.” He’s a fantastic player and a fantastic person. In my opinion, there was no genuine risk of losing him. He has been terrific thus far and must sustain those levels.

Birmingham City man is lauded

Paik Seung-ho joined Birmingham City in January and has made 27 appearances in all competitions, nine of which have occurred this season. He has also scored once.

He began his career with Barcelona before moving on to Peralada and Girona on a permanent basis.

The Seoul native came to Germany in 2019 and spent two years with Darmstadt, both of which competed in the Bundesliga.2.

Seung-ho then joined Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors in the K-League, where he appeared 106 times across all competitions and scored 11 goals.

He is a South Korean international with 17 caps, having received his first call-up in 2019.

What happens now?

Birmingham City were glad to retain his services this past summer.

Seung-ho increases their rivalry and depth in the center of the park, and a player of his caliber is too excellent for the third tier.

The Blues won 2-0 away against Rotherham United and are currently second in the standings, trailing only Wrexham. Their next match is at Peterborough United this weekend.
