The finer facts of Birmingham City’s failed move for Hull City’s Canadian international winger, Liam Millar, have emerged ahead of Tuesday’s 11 p.m. transfer deadline.

According to Mike White of BBC Radio Humberside Sport, the 26-year-old will join the ambitious Championship side on a season-long loan if the two clubs can reach an agreement in the coming hours.

Birmingham are one of several teams in league action on Tuesday evening against Southampton at St. Andrew’s @ Knighthead Park, but that hasn’t stopped transfer activity in this section of the West Midlands, which has been brisk since the summer.

Fresh transfer update drops as Birmingham City attempt to beat Middlesbrough and Stoke City to the Liam Millar swoop.

Birmingham have only made six signings this summer, and despite the club’s unbeaten start to their second consecutive Championship season, supporters have expressed frustration with the pursuit of targets capable of filling voids in wide areas or the ‘number 10’ role.

Blues, along with Wrexham, suffered a setback in their pursuit of Anis Mehmeti from Ipswich Town this weekend, but it was reported on Monday that they and Middlesbrough have joined Stoke City in the hunt for Millar’s services.

The Toronto-born player scored Hull’s winner against Coventry City on Saturday, continuing Sergej Jakirovic’s side’s 100% return to the Premier League, and after reports surfaced that he was ‘unsure’ about a move to Stoke, the Blues were said to have agreed a deal of their own in the early hours of Deadline Day.

And, after confirming that Millar was willing to undergo a medical owing to interest from the Second City club, White has now stated that it will be a loan agreement between them and Hull, with the hope that a deal can be reached.

Liam Millar’s loan would address a significant Birmingham City issue.

Birmingham’s lack of depth in attacking areas was obvious in the early weeks of the season, whether owing to player sales or pre-season injuries.

As a result, Jay Stansfield has began the season on the left flank rather than in the centre, which has restricted his impact on matches as previously observed.

Birmingham, however, had been connected with a reunion with former Brighton loanee Ibrahim Osman, despite Davies stating earlier this summer that such a trade was improbable.

Millar, on the other hand, would undoubtedly be a formidable challenge to Demarai Grey, who has two goals in all competitions this season.

Liam Millar hopes Birmingham City to follow Hull City’s way if the loan move is confirmed.

Birmingham’s ambitions to return to the Premier League, as well as plans for the Sports Quarter project, have recently played a significant role in attracting transfer targets, and Millar would want to be a part of yet another promotion bid if a deal can be concluded.

The Canadian has 79 Championship matches under his belt from his stay at Hull and a previous loan with Preston North End, but his time in East Yorkshire hasn’t been easy owing to a major ACL injury incurred in October 2023 that sidelined him for 11 months.

However, as demonstrated by his goal against Coventry, when on form, the Liverpool academy graduate possesses the speed and end product to create significant damage in transition, which is what Davies will be looking for.
