Birmingham City have shifted their transfer focus following a setback in their pursuit of Ipswich Town target, with the Blues now pursuing a deal for Portsmouth attacker Adrian Segečić.

Birmingham City are interested in Adrian Segečić ahead of Tuesday’s transfer deadline.

Birmingham City’s pursuit of Ipswich Town’s attacking midfielder Anis Mehmeti is expected to be unsuccessful, despite their persistent interest in Adrian Segečić.


Chris Davies is trying to boost his front line by signing a new No.10 before Tuesday’s transfer deadline.



It is understood that the Pompey talent is on the radar of St Andrews’ football operations, while Mehmeti has also been linked with a move to the West Midlands.




On Friday, it was announced that Birmingham had bid for the Ipswich Town player, who had also been watched by Wrexham during the transfer window.

While earlier rumours indicated that the Blues were hopeful of signing the 25-year-old, the situation has now changed ahead of Tuesday’s deadline.



According to Football Insider transfer expert Pete O’Rourke, Mehmeti wants to stay at Portman Road despite Championship interest.


According to the source, the attacker, who joined Suffolk in January for £3 million from Bristol City, wants to compete for a place in Gary O’Neil’s Premier League team.

The London-born Albania international has yet to appear in either of the Tractor Boys’ first three matches in all competitions this season, and he was left out of the 20-man squad for Sunday’s defeat to Manchester United.

When questioned after the game at Old Trafford, Ipswich manager and former Pompey player Gary O’Neil indicated he would consider keeping Mehmeti beyond the summer window.

Anis is a great guy. He works extremely hard and produces high-quality results. So, there’s nothing from me about Anis or anyone else.

‘If they stay at the football club, we will use them to their full potential. That’s the same for Anis.

Meanwhile, Birmingham have set their sights on Mohammed Fuseini, an attacking midfielder for Union Saint-Gilloise.

Following an original report from Flashscore Ghana, Birmingham Live claims the 24-year-old is being considered as a late-window option at St Andrews.

Birmingham shows interest in Pompey’s Adrian Segečić.

Birmingham’s pursuit of Mehmeti may impact any late-window deal for Segečić, who the Blues are reportedly interested in.

The News stated last week that Davies’ team is interested in the highly rated 22-year-old following his outstanding debut at Fratton Park last season.

Mousinho acknowledged following Pompey’s 2-1 defeat to Bristol City on Saturday that no bids had been made for the attacking midfielder, who has two goals in his first four games.

However, the head coach sees the potential for that changing, with his side ready to react in the event of an acceptable offer being received for the coveted asset.

Segečić has struck 13 goals in 44 matches for Pompey after signing from Sydney FC in June 2025 for a six-figure amount – and still has two-years remaining on his present terms.
