Birmingham City's Patrick Roberts has been an unused substitute in the team's last seven games, sparking transfer speculation. The 25-year-old winger has been linked with a move away from St. Andrew's after being overlooked by manager Chris Davies. Roberts has been a marginalised figure in the shadow of Carlos Vicente, who has taken a shine to the £7million signing from Deportivo Alaves in January. Vicente has become Davies' first choice right-winger, leaving Roberts on the sidelines. The 25-year-old has now gone seven games without a competitive minute for the Blues, and his future at the club is uncertain. According to transfer journalist Alan Nixon, Roberts is wanted by Blackburn Rovers, who are managed by ex-Blues boss Tony Mowbray. Mowbray worked with Roberts at Sunderland, and the two have a good relationship. However, it remains to be seen whether Rovers can match the contract Blues handed Roberts when they signed him permanently in January. The deal would create a problem for the Blues, who would need to sign a replacement for Roberts. This would be a significant challenge, especially given the team's need for a left-winger.
