Newly-promoted Birmingham set to sign Newcastle defender David Edgar
Newcastle defender David Edgar looks certain to join Premier League newcomers Birmingham City after failing to secure a new contract at St James' Park.
The Canadian-born defender left the club at the end of last season without signing a new deal and looks likely to be the first victim of the current chaos on Tyneside.
Birmingham are leading the chase to sign the 22-year-old on a free transfer when he returns from his summer holidays.
Edgar, the son of former Newcastle keeper Eddie, played 13 games for the Geordies last season as a back-up defender.
