Germany & Chelsea FC Defender Robert Huth Linked With Possible Move To Birmingham Or Leeds United For 1st Team Action
Germany and Chelsea FC defender Robert Huth is being linked with a move from Stamford Bridge in a bid to seek regular first team football in an attempt to feature for Germany in this summer's World Cup Finals.
21-year-old Huth is being watched by at least two English clubs, as he looks play regular team football in order to secure a place in Jurgen Klinsmann’s Germany squad, but is usually only seen on the substitutes bench at Chelsea, and knows that he needs to start games far more regularly if he is to play a part for the hosts in this summer's tournament.
Birmingham City boss Steve Bruce has already said that he would like to add to his defence in this transfer window, as his team battles against relegation from the Premiership, and would ideally welcome a loan deal.
Now Leeds United, who play in the Championship, the second league in England, have also expressed their interest in the big centre-half's services, and it seems that Huth could be persuaded to drop a division if there is a guarantee of first-team football.

Really likely he's going to Birmingham, isn't it?
Chelsea don't want to sell him and Birmingham have no money, so it'd have to be a loan.
Premier League rules allow max 2 domestic loans at a time - Birmingham already have 2 (Jarosik and Butt).
And even if they sent one back, which they can't without the agreement of the loaning club, which they wouldn't get, Premier League rules also forbid MORE THAN ONE loan from the same club in the same season IN ANY CIRCUMSTANCES.
But apart from that ...
