Football star Tom Brady plays key role in £2 million transfer negotiations for striker, where the former NFL hero is reportedly spearheading the deal in Birmingham
Birmingham City Signs Striker Marvin Ducksch Ahead of Championship Return
Birmingham City has bolstered its attack with the signing of Marvin Ducksch from German Bundesliga side Werder Bremen. The 31-year-old striker has agreed to a three-year contract with the club, joining for a transfer fee of around €2 million (approximately £1.7m).
Ducksch, known for his height, power, and goal-scoring prowess, is expected to bring much-needed depth to Birmingham's attack following the departure of Alfie May. He will compete with Jay Stansfield, Kyogo Furuhashi, and Lyndon Dykes for a spot in the starting lineup, potentially influencing the squad's attacking dynamics and selection decisions.
The transfer window has been busy for Birmingham as they prepare for life back in the Championship. The new season is just days away, and the club is eager to bounce back after a disappointing spell under former manager Wayne Rooney. Rooney was sacked after winning just two of his 15 Championship games in charge, which saw the club plummet from sixth to 20th.
Tom Brady, Birmingham's minority owner, has been in the limelight following the release of the Prime Video documentary 'Built in Birmingham: Brady & The Blues'. While Brady has expressed concern about Rooney's work ethic in the documentary, there has been no reported connection between Brady and the Marvin Ducksch signing.
Florian Plettenberg reported the details of the transfer, with Birmingham agreeing a fee for Ducksch's services. The signing is a significant boost for Birmingham as they aim to challenge for promotion back to the Premier League.
With Ducksch on board, Birmingham City looks set for an exciting new chapter in their Championship campaign.
