Blackburn, Birmingham head queue for ex-Man City defender Cameron Humphreys-Grant

Former Manchester City defender Cameron Humphreys-Grant is wanted back in England.

Humphreys-Grant, now at Belgian club Zulte Waregem, is weighing up a return to England amid interest from Championship clubs.

Humphreys first made headlines in 2015 when as a 16 year old from the club's academy he played for City in a pre season friendly against Gareth Bale's Real Madrid before going on to sign his first professional contract.

He made a couple of first team appearances in the FA Cup but with competition fierce and opportunities limited went to Belgium to seek regular football.

He has made an impact at Waregem and was excellent in their Boxing Day win over Standard Liege.

His form has subsequently attracted interest from a number of Championship sides who recognise he is out of contract in the summer and can sign a pre contract next month, says the Daily Mail.

Blackburn Rovers, Birmingham City, Cardiff, Coventry and Derby County are all keen on the 23-year old while Scottish side Hearts and Schalke and Hannover in Germany have also registered their interest.
