Sheffield Wednesday, Derby County, Huddersfield Town and Bristol City had all been credited with interest in the 31-year-old. However, despite Sam Cosgrove’s arrival at Birmingham City, Jutkiewicz is set to remain with the club.

The former Middlesbrough and Burnley man has struggled for form in the 2020/21 campaign. Across all competitions, Jutkiewicz has managed just two goals and laid on two assists in 25 games.

A hamstring injury hindered his involvement somewhat in the early stages of the campaign. Since returning, 11 of his 20 Championship appearances have come off the bench.

Now, with Cosgrove adding competition to Aitor Karanka’s attacking ranks, Jutkiewicz will have a challenge on his hands if he wants to get back into the side.
