United midfielder Tahith Chong joins Birmingham City on permanent deal

Tahith Chong becomes Birmingham’s eighth first-team signing of the summer window.

Manchester United midfielder Tahith Chong has joined Championship club, Birmingham City. He has revealed his excitement at returning to Birmingham, describing the Championship club as a second home for him.

After coming through the youth ranks at Old Trafford, the 22-year-old midfielder made 16 first-team appearances for the Red Devils.

Chong then spent last season on loan at Birmingham, making 20 appearances in all competitions for the Blues, during a campaign hampered by a serious groin injury.

The attacking midfielder has completed his return to St Andrew’s, and this time he is set to be there for the long term.

It has been announced that the attacking midfielder has rejoined Birmingham permanently for an undisclosed fee, signing a four-year contract that will keep him with the club until the end of the 2025/26 season.

Speaking to Birmingham’s official website after confirmation of that move, Tahith Chong said: “I am excited to be back. Especially after last season, I have always felt Birmingham City had been my second home.

“It’s nice because I came in, I know everyone already. Seeing familiar faces. Everyone at the Club, the staff, the players and the fans – everyone made me feel so welcome, a family Club.

“I feel ready to go. I am very excited to get going. It’s great to be back.”

Chong becomes Birmingham’s eighth first-team signing of the summer window, following John Ruddy, Aaron Trusty, Hannibal Mejbri, Przemyslaw Placheta, Emmanuel Longelo, Krystian Bielik and Dion Sanderson in moving to St Andrew’s.
