John Solis’ season at Birmingham City has started so strongly that it is now attracting major attention at home too. In Colombia, the tone has changed from curiosity to full admiration.
AS Colombia ran a feature projecting the 21-year-old as a central figure in Chris Davis’s side. The report said “It took less than 40 days for the 21-year-old Colombian to become the standard-bearer of Birmingham’s midfield”.
This line clearly shows how his influence is being interpreted in his home country.

Inside the piece, there are claims that “Solis has turned downtown Birmingham into a powerhouse”. The Colombian outlet insists that he is “Already considered essential to the balance of the team”.
This highlights that he has played seven matches in less than 40 days, starting in five of them, and was rated above average in four of them.
The statistical case underpins the appreciation. since arriving in EnglandSolís leads Birmingham City’s midfielders in recoveries with 36. He also tops the tackle count with 16. Furthermore, he has the second best duel success rate in his position with 55%.
AS Colombia also noted that he is the club’s third best rated midfielder. Joining in a deal worth €4-5 million. Among the entire team, he is ranked eighth overall. Notably, he sits above Tomoki Iwata in the same role.
Analysis adds another layer: “The Colombian has found the consistency he was lacking at Verona, and Chris Davies’ style of play suits him well, making him a regular in a defensive midfield role.”
In other words, it is being framed not as a brief burst of form, but as having structural significance within the system.
Promotional talks and international time
With ten matches remaining, Birmingham City are two points off the play-off places. Wrexham are currently in sixth place with 51 points. According to the report, “With him, Birmingham are excited about the prospect of promotion”.
That phrase is telling. His presence is being directly linked to confidence around the club’s trajectory.
Additionally, a strong performance in England will naturally draw attention from observers of the Colombia national team. With the World Cup around the corner, Solis’ form at the Championship is coming at the right time.
If he maintains this level, the conversation could soon move beyond Birmingham City play-off hopes. However, for now, the Colombian press is already clear that Solís has already become a point of reference of the midfield and a symbol of renewed ambition.
