Birmingham City are closing in on the signing of highly-rated youngster Ivan Šunjić, with the Croatian U21 international set for a medical with the Championship club.

Reports from Croatia this morning suggested that the Dinamo Zagreb man would be making the move to St. Andrew's and those claims have been confirmed by We Are Birmingham on Twitter, who have stated that the deal is at an advanced stage.

"We can confirm reports that #bcfc have agreed a deal with Dinamo Zagreb for midfielder Ivan Šunjić. The player is due to arrive in Birmingham for a medical today."

Providing this goes through it would be a real coup for Blues as the defensive midfielder impressed at the recent European U21 Championships and has been linked with Italian giants AC Milan in the past.

So, as you would expect, Šunjić's potential arrival has excited plenty of Blues fans who feel he would add a lot to Pep Clotet's team.

Here's some of the reaction from Twitter...
