Emmanuel Aiwu joined the Italian side from Rapid Vienna last season and is open to moving to England. The 22-year-old defender can be a key signing for Brady’s side as his addition will bolster their defense. However, Cremonese is not willing to sell the player, but reports suggest the team could add a buy-on clause to the loan deal.
Birmingham has been interested in the player ever since Tom Brady joined their ranks. The team following the takeover has a fair amount to spend for strengthening their squad and is looking to gather some suitable names for their first team.
