00:00Heading into the transfer deadline day evening at Birmingham City and I can
00:04confirm there'll be one new addition made by Chris Davies. Just the one in the
00:09senior team at least. There could be some incomings at an academy level but for
00:13the senior team, just the one player. But it's an exciting one. Lee Myung Jae, he's
00:18a current South Korea international. He has been since last February. He's played
00:23in all seven of South Korea's World Cup qualifiers at the age of 31. He hadn't
00:28broken into that senior South Korea team until the age of 30. So quite an
00:32impressive late bloom from him. He's a left-back. He's going to provide some
00:35cover for Alex Cochran. Lee Buchanan's long-term season-ending injury made
00:41Chris Davies want to investigate the potential need for a new left-back. I
00:44think it definitely was needed. That depth is going to be a busy end to the
00:48season in a variety of competitions. So Lee will come through the door and
00:52understand the medical has been completed. It's a free transfer as he's a
00:56free agent and it's a short-term deal that Blues might look to extend in the
01:00summer. In terms of outgoings, Alfie Chang has joined Walsall on a season-long
01:05loan. Well, half-season. We're at that point now. The Sadlers are top of League 2 at
01:10the moment. There should be some good experience for Chang. He's never
01:13gone out on loan before and being in that kind of environment where
01:16potentially could win the league, if not promotion, should be very good for him.
