Fulham have rejected a £10m bid from Birmingham City for striker Jay Stansfield this morning.

The England under-21 international scored on his return to St. Andrew’s as the Whites reached the third round of the League Cup on Tuesday night – and head coach Marco Silva wants to keep Stansfield as part of his first-team squad. Blues are desperate to sign last season’s loan star, who scored thirteen goals as they were relegated from the Championship, to spearhead their push for an immediate return to the second tier.
