Birmingham City teenager Brandon Khela is set for a loan move to Scotland for the rest of the season, Sky Sports News<\/em> understands.<\/p>\n

Sky Sports News<\/em> revealed earlier this week<\/a> that the youngster has been attracting loan interest – and the 18-year-old midfielder is now poised to continue his development north of the border.<\/p>\n

Sikh-Punjabi teenager Khela became the first British South Asian to represent Birmingham City’s men’s first team when he came off the bench in the club’s 2-0 Carabao Cup first round win against Cheltenham Town back in August.<\/p>\n

Khela signed his first professional contract at the club<\/a> 18 months ago and was a regular for Birmingham City’s U23s last season.<\/p>\n

The technically gifted midfielder made an instant impression on former manager Lee Bowyer during his spell in charge of Blues, with Bowyer rewarding Khela with a place on the bench for Birmingham’s 2-2 draw with Stoke during the 2021\/22 season.<\/p>\n

England youth international Khela has been on Birmingham’s bench on 12 occasions in the Championship this season, making his league debut as a late substitute in a 4-1 win against Huddersfield at St Andrew’s in October.<\/a><\/p>\n

Khela started playing football aged three and could have joined hometown club Coventry City but opted for a move to Birmingham after he was scouted by the club. He has since played in every age-group side.<\/p>\n
