Birmingham City want Tahith Chong back on loan next season.
The Second City club will ask Manchester United if they will again send the exciting 22-year-old away from Old Trafford to St Andrew’s to build up his first-team experience. Brum’s hierarchy, consisting of boss Lee Bowyer and technical director Craig Gardner, are keen to oversee another year of his development.
Chong has proved a big hit at St Andrew’s and was a bright spark during an otherwise drab opening half to the season. He has adapted well to the demands of the Championship but his campaign was ruined when he had to undergo surgery on a groin problem that ended up sidelining him for over four months.
