Birmingham City is actively seeking a new striker and has set its sights on Danish talent August Priske. The club’s interest comes on the heels of Priske’s impressive performance in the Allsvenskan, where he netted 18 goals in 27 appearances for Djurgårdens IF, earning him the Golden Boot for the season.
Birmingham City Targets Danish Striker August Priske
At just 21, Priske has already made a name for himself in Swedish football after transferring to Djurgårdens from Danish clubs FC Midtjylland and Copenhagen in 2024. His height of 6 feet 4 inches and reported ‘impressive speed’ have caught the attention of several scouts, not just in the UK but across Europe.
Interest from Major Clubs
According to reports from Danish outlet Tipsbladet, Priske’s talents have not gone unnoticed. Big clubs like Besiktas and Lille are rumored to be tracking the young striker, which may complicate Birmingham’s efforts to secure a deal.
Current Striking Options
- Jay Stansfield – top scorer with 9 goals
- Marvin Ducksch
- Kyogo Furuhashi
While Birmingham City has expressed interest, it remains unclear if they are in active negotiations for Priske’s services. The club has previously scouted other players in the Allsvenskan, including a failed attempt to sign winger Abdoulie Manneh from Mjällby AIF.
As the transfer window progresses, all eyes will be on whether Birmingham City can successfully attract this promising Danish striker to bolster their attacking lineup.
