Birmingham City winger Zaid apparently being watched by a teams, including Rangers,Birmingham City winger Zaid Betteka is apparently being watched by a number of teams, including Rangers, Norwich City, and Crystal Palace.
Last month, the 18-year-old made his senior Blues debut after coming off the bench in the team’s 2-1 FA Cup third-round victory over Lincoln City.
At the age of 17, , who is of Algerian and Somalian descent has not yet signed a professional contract.
Betteka, who can play as an attacking midfielder or on the left wing, has been steadily rising through the Blues youth systems.
His FA Cup appearance was his first official foray into senior football, and he is currently with the under-21 team.
Although Premier League team Palace appears to be the most alluring option for Betteka, Championship team Norwich and Scottish Premiership powerhouse Rangers are also viable options.
The Blues will undoubtedly hope Betteka would rather stay in Birmingham, but it could be necessary to promise her more first-team opportunity first.
At St Andrew’s @ Knighthead Park, there is intense competition, particularly in the offensive midfield positions.
When players like Lyndon Dykes, a full Scotland international, and Alfie May, the League One Golden Boot winner from the previous season, are frequently benched, you know it’s difficult to make the squad.
To make sure the minutes move around, those two, who are more out-and-out strikers, have been used in the number 10 position.
For someone like Betteka, who hasn’t even been fully assimilated into the first team lineup yet, it’s even more difficult to leave his mark. In the summer, it can make sense to take out a loan or establish a permanent business somewhere.
