Bilel Moshni heading for Birmingham City?

Southend United defender Bilel Mohsni is reportedly close to completing a move to Birmingham City.

The 25-year-old, who can also play in attack, has been strongly linked with a move away from the League Two club this season.

West Ham United and Ipswich Town have been linked with the Frenchman, but according to Sky Sports News, he will join Birmingham this week.

Moshni will reportedly join on loan before completing a permanent deal in January.
