Birmingham City are closing in on the signing of Werder Bremen striker Marvin Ducksch in a deal worth around £1.7 million.
According to Sky Sports News, talks between the two clubs are progressing well, with the 31-year-old Germany international entering the final year of his contract.
Ducksch could become the latest addition to a Birmingham side preparing for life in the Championship following their promotion.
Meanwhile, the Blues are still in discussions with Ajax over a permanent move for striker Chuba Akpom. The 28-year-old had agreed terms with Ipswich Town and underwent a medical, but talks with Birmingham have since reopened.
Akpom had been set to join Ipswich on loan with a £7 million obligation to buy if promoted – a similar structure to Birmingham’s initial proposal.
Negotiations remain ongoing between all parties involved.
Middlesbrough and Olympiacos have also been linked with a move for Akpom in the 2025 summer transfer window.
