Brighton youngster Beadle set for Birmingham loan
- Published
Brighton goalkeeper James Beadle's loan move to Birmingham City is progressing, but will not be done before Tuesday's first transfer deadline.
The 20-year-old is expected to move to St Andrew's this summer for a season-long loan.
Beadle will be on international duty this month and he is likely to be England Under-21s' first choice for Euro 2025, with the Young Lions opening their title defence against Czech Republic on Thursday, 12 June in Slovakia.
Beadle spent last season on loan at Sheffield Wednesday, his second spell at Hillsborough, having also spent time at Oxford United and Crewe.
He is yet to make a senior appearance for Brighton, after joining from Charlton Athletic three years ago.
Birmingham are preparing for their return to the Championship after winning the League One title with a record 111 points last season.
