Lee Clark hopeful of Koby Arthur deal

Birmingham City boss Lee Clark has claimed that he is "confident" of tying highly-rated youngster Koby Arthur to a new contract.

The 17-year-old, who joined the club last year, has reportedly attracted the interest of a host of Premier League sides following his performances in the youth team.

"We are quite a way down the line in terms of a contract for Koby," Clark told the Birmingham Mail.

"We are waiting to hear back from his agent about the proposals put to him. Although you can never be sure, we are confident that things will be done and dusted in the next few days."

Birmingham currently sit 12th in the Championship table.
