Birmingham Live is reporting that the door is open for the midfielder to move on from Birmingham City this month. They note that a loan is most likely with his contract running until 2028, but Leonard favours a move amid frustration over his game time, having been left out of the match day squad at the weekend.

The report adds that Championship clubs have been keen over the past 12 months. Sheffield United and Norwich City have been among those reported to have been interested but it remains to be seen if any make a move this winter.
