Jerome Sinclair 'closing in on loan move to Birmingham City from Watford'

Watford striker Jerome Sinclair will reportedly be a Birmingham City player by tonight's 11pm transfer deadline.

The 20-year-old is undergoing a medical at the Championship club ahead of a move, which is expected to be a loan deal until the end of the season, according to Sky Sports News.

Sinclair is in need of some first-team minutes having made just seven appearances in all competitions since moving to Vicarage Road from Liverpool last summer.

Life was made harder for Sinclair when Watford signed Mauro Zarate and M'Baye Niang earlier in the month, therefore giving the youngster more competition for a spot in the team.

Birmingham currently sit 12th in the Championship table after winning nine, drawing 10 and losing nine.
