He will now spend the 2019/20 campaign on loan to Birmingham in the Championship as he looks to take the next step in his career.

The 21-year-old spent last season on loan to Vitesse in Holland and put in a number of solid displays at the back.

Birmingham have also confirmed in their statement that they have beaten off competition from a number of sides to land the centre-back.
