- Blues have continued to spend big
- Impressive firepower at St Andrew’s
- Taking aim at another promotion
The Blues have completed more notable transfer business during the summer of 2025. They smashed recruitment records in الدوري الأول 12 months ago, with £15 million ($20m) being invested in إنجلترا Under-21 striker Stansfield.
Ex-سلتيك frontman Kyogo has been returned to British football in a £10m ($13m) deal, with the 30-year-old اليابان international expected to take the Championship by storm. برمنغهام could take some stopping if their frontline clicks and fires early.
Plenty of second tier rivals also boast impressive firepower – with ريكسهام another of those to be spending big – but Stansfield and Kyogo are considered to be leading contenders for Golden Boot honours.
Former EFL striker Kris Boyd shares that رأي, with the ex-Scotland international telling BestBettingSites.com: “I think there are a few candidates to top score next season, and Kyogo is definitely one of them. His partner at Birmingham, Jay Stansfield, is another one with a chance. There are always some obvious tips to be the top scorer in this league at the start of the season, but there’s always a challenger who comes from left field too.
“If Birmingham can create chances for either of their players, they will smash them in. But there are obviously other strikers in the league who you can say the same thing about. I think with a strong squad and good attacking players, ساوثهامبتون will be feeling the same, as will Leicester if they get players in.
“شيفيلد يونايتد have still got players who can score freely, so it’s a difficult pick, but you know from Kyogo’s time in Scotland that he converts chances if he’s given them.”
On the back of releasing their ‘Built in Birmingham: Brady u0026amp; the Blues’ documentary, Chris Davies’ side will get the 2025-26 Championship campaign up and running when playing host to إيبسويتش يوم الجمعة.
