Birmingham City striker linked with AFC Wimbledon loan move

Sam Cosgrove is reportedly set to join AFC Wimbledon on loan from Birmingham City.

The Dons have been in the market for a striker since top scorer Ollie Palmer joined Wrexham last week for £300,000.

Cosgrove is on loan at Shrewsbury Town, where he has scored two goals in 17 appearances.

The Lower Tiers website are reporting that the Blues are set to cut short his current loan deal, and send him to Plough Lane for the second half of the season.

The 25-year-old signed for Birmingham on January deadline day last year from Aberdeen, where he had scored 31 goals in 79 appearances for the Scottish Premiership side.

Cosgrove is yet to score for his parent club, and has made 12 appearances for Lee Bowyer’s side.
