Birmingham sign QPR & Scotland striker Dykes

Lyndon Dykes has 36 Scotland caps but missed Euro 2024 because of injury

Birmingham City have made their 14th signing of the summer transfer window by bringing in Scotland striker Lyndon Dykes from Queens Park Rangers for an undisclosed fee.

The 28-year-old has agreed a three-year contract with Blues after scoring 37 goals in 165 appearances for the west London club.

The last of them was in their 2-2 draw at Sheffield United on 17 August, but he was not involved in Saturday's home game against Wayne Rooney's Plymouth Argyle, which also ended 2-2.

Dykes has dropped a level from the Championship to League One to join a Birmingham side, who, having been installed as promotion favourites, have made a good start, taking seven points from their first three games.

"The club has a clear aim for where they want to go in the future," Dykes told Bluestv.

"They are ambitious and that is like myself as a player.

"I want to get to the top and I am hoping that can be with Birmingham. There are quality players here and it is a top-class club."

Meanwhile, Blues have confirmed forward Juninho Bacuna has left the club to join Saudi side Al-Wehda for an undisclosed fee.

The 27-year-old scored 13 goals in 111 appearances for Birmingham but had not been involved this season.
