Birmingham City will be looking to add to their side in the summer window as they aim for a play-off challenge next campaign.

Pep Clotet might want to look to use some of the young players coming through the academy, too, with the club having some decent players on their books over the years.

Here, we look at 8 of the best...

Sone Aluko has played for the likes of Hull, Fulham and Reading during his career.

It all started at Birmingham, though, with him coming through the ranks - though he didn't actually play much senior football at all for them before moving to Aberdeen.

Viv Solomon-Otabor looked bright as he came through at Birmingham and has a Young Player of the Season award to show for it too.

He turned down the chance to stay with the Blues and moved to CSKA Sofia, with him sigining a three-year deal.

Jack Butland came through at Birmingham and showed great potential with Stoke eventually signing him on.

He's struggled a bit in recent times but the level of talent he has should not be forgotten as a goalkeeper.

Andy Johnson will be best remembered for his goal-scoring efforts for Crystal Palace but, before that, he was a Blues forward.

His miss in the 2001 League Cup final for Blues was a sour point but he had a decent career and things started in the west Midlands.

Joe Lolley was at the Blues before moving into non-league and perhaps they did not expect him to have the career he has now had.

He's a key star for Nottingham Forest these days and will be looking to help them earn promotion.

Jude Bellingham is bound to get higher on this list in the coming years given his sheer potential and age.

He's third because he's only played one season but what a season it has been - he's one to watch for several years to come.

Demarai Gray's move to Leicester perhaps wasn't the most welcome thing in the world for Blues fans but the winger is top-flight quality.

He might feel as though he could have done more at the Foxes so far but he is a player of considerable talent that has plenty of time to still be a real star.

Nathan Redmond is an established Premier League footballer that's spent most of his playing days providing attacking threat in the top flight.

It all started at Birmingham and he's been a top player ever since.
