With more talent in the back-line for the second half of the season and the potential to be seen as a player who could succeed in the Championship the next season and beyond, Neumann might be the perfect signing for Birmingham.
The German has 168 appearances in the 2.Bundesliga and is currently 27 years old, giving him a wealth of experience. In addition to his four goals, he has recorded eight assists.
This season, Neumann has started 11 league games and averaged a remarkable number of clearances per game. He also had strong numbers for interceptions per game and aerial duels won per game.

It could feel like a statement signing if Birmingham get it done, not to mention impressive work by Wanger and Brady, further suggesting that exciting years could lie ahead. Building from a position of strength is always hugely important and that’s exactly what the Blues may well be doing if they got a deal over the line.
