Amin Chiakha's rise is no longer going unnoticed on the European stage. After a standout season in Norway, the Algerian international forward is now attracting the attention of an English club that is closely monitoring his development ahead of the upcoming transfer windows.
According to sources from the English media outlet Ontheminute.com, Birmingham City is actively watching the situation of the young striker from Rosenborg. The club, which plays in the Championship (the second tier of English football), has reportedly added the Algerian's name to their list of offensive targets. This interest highlights the growing attention around the 20-year-old player, although no concrete steps have been reported at this time.
Chiakha's performances largely explain this enthusiasm. Since his arrival in Norway in January, the former FC Copenhagen player has quickly established himself as one of the most prominent strikers in the league. He has notably scored 17 goals in Eliteserien, placing him at the top of the scoring charts. These statistics have allowed him to reach another level and attract attention well beyond Norwegian borders.
Birmingham City will, however, need to consider Rosenborg's position. The Scandinavian club recently exercised their purchase option following the player's loan from Copenhagen, before signing him to a long-term contract that runs until December 2030. This means that a potential transfer will not be straightforward for interested parties.
Moreover, the Blues are not the only ones interested in this matter. In recent weeks, several European clubs, including Rennes, Monaco, Sevilla, Anderlecht, Gent, and Freiburg, have also been linked to the Algerian forward. It remains to be seen whether this English interest will translate into an initiative during the upcoming winter transfer window.
