Former Aston Villa midfielder and football pundit Lee Hendrie has urged Birmingham City to make a strong move in the transfer market by signing Swansea City defender Harry Darling on a three-year contract. Hendrie believes that Darling would bring much-needed solidity and composure to Birmingham’s backline, which has struggled for consistency in recent seasons. The 24-year-old centre-back has been a standout performer for Swansea, showcasing his aerial dominance, calmness under pressure, and ability to play out from the back — traits Hendrie feels would perfectly suit Birmingham’s style.
Speaking to local media, Hendrie stated, “Harry Darling is exactly the kind of player Birmingham need right now. He’s young, experienced in the Championship, and has the technical qualities to make a real difference. A three-year deal would be a smart investment for the club’s future.”
With Birmingham City aiming to rebuild and push for promotion following a difficult campaign, securing a defender of Darling’s calibre could be a significant step forward. Reports suggest that the club is monitoring his situation closely and could make a formal approach in the coming weeks. Hendrie’s endorsement has only intensified fan excitement about the potential signing, which could bolster the team’s defensive options ahead of the new season.
