Out-going Birmingham City manager Lee Clark has expressed worry over a possible loss of hugely talented Ghanaian youngster Koby Arthur and team-mate Demarai Gray. 

That’s because the outgoing Birmingham City manager fears predatory clubs could spirit them away from St Andrew’s.

The 18-year-olds started for Blues on Saturday, for the first time, against Bolton Wanderers. And the pair who have become a key part of the attack came under plenty of scrutiny.

"They (the supporters) have got to be excited about them, but worried," he said before his sacking last week.

"Like I have said all along, the ages don’t bother me.

"I love seeing the two of them. I wanted them to both get on the pitch and they didn’t disappoint Saturday.

"They will make errors now and then, because they are 18. But they were the shining light for us - brilliant."
