The Yorkshire Evening Post reported over the weekend that Leeds have opened talks over a potential deal to bring back Kyle Bartley to the club.

It's a transfer that a lot of Whites fans have wanted with their form this season in mind and so it remains to be seen exactly if they can get a deal over the line.

With Garry Monk and Birmingham aiming to be in the Championship next season, though, could there also be interest in the defender from the Blues?

Certainly, the pair have a good relationship from their time at Leeds in particular and so we asked Blues fans whether they'd like their club to try and gazump the Whites.

This was the response:

Birmingham's defence has had its issues this season despite comprising of a number of decent players.

Certainly, fans appear open to strengthening it in the summer and if Monk decided to get after Bartley it looks as though he'd have the support of the St. Andrew's faithful.

Let's see if that is what happens, then, or if the Whites manage to keep any potential rivals at bay.

Thoughts, Blues fans? Let us know below!
