Manchester United winger Tahith Chong is nearing a deal to join Birmingham on loan for the 2021-22 campaign.
The 21-year-old has been out on loan in the past couple of years to Belgian outfit Club Brugge and German side Werder Bremen.

Chong signed a new contract at United back in March 2020 following interest from Inter Milan.
At the time, manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said: 'Tahith works extremely hard every day and he is constantly improving.
'His performances this season, whether for the first team or Under-23s, are testament to his hard work, dedication and to his character.
