Blues target Omar Bogle looks set to join Birmingham City on loan from Cardiff.

Town were eyeing a move for the 25-year-old, who played for Paul Hurst at Grimsby, in the wake of Accrington Stanley slapping a £2.5 million price tag on Kayden Jackson’s head.

Now, Birmingham Live is reporting that Birmingham are closing in on a deal to loan Bogle, who is from nearby Sandwell and with previously with the club as a youngster.

The Blues are understood to have continued negotiations with Accrington regarding Jackson but if they’re unable to come to an agreement with the League One club will have to look elsewhere for a striker to replace the imminently departing Martyn Waghorn, who is set to complete his £5 million rising to £7.5 million move to Derby today.

chilli added 12:49 - Aug 6 Nugent would probably only score own goals if he came to us 😂

blueheartXT added 13:03 - Aug 6 Birmingham are allowed to sign for players and there are good players in the lower leagues we just need to have a bit of luck getting the right ones

dugoutdave added 14:00 - Aug 6 Tommytractorboy. Perhaps the fact that he's from Sandwell (look it up) and was at Birmingham may have something to do with it. Now back under your Norwich duvet like a good little boy.

Essexnblue added 14:36 - Aug 6 Very happy with this, couldn't cut it at Peterborough on loan and was sent home in March back to Cardiff. Big unit more suited to MM.

Steve_ITFC_Sweden added 15:24 - Aug 6 Not at all worried if we "miss out" on Bogle. I hope he was just a distraction in the continued negotiations for our real targets.

stewartm added 16:21 - Aug 6 Good this might force ITFC to actually buy a striker rather than borrow (at cost)!

therein61 added 16:30 - Aug 6 Nugent at 33 is hardly in the new mindset surrounding the club also Bogle is not for me someone who would be a good addition, I agree about Bradshaw who as stated did well in a struggling side I know this would seem unpopular but Chris Martin would hold up play and feed Harrison and bang in a few himself? just a thought

TractorBoyTommy added 16:34 - Aug 6 @dugoutdave arrr okay so if a player started out for a team that automatically means the player will sign for them. Cant wait to hear the news we have re-signed connor wickham. Great logic there, think your the one that needs to get back under your duvet or get back to playing fifa

Popeye added 17:10 - Aug 6 let's stop f@ckin about and pay the money for Jackson. The way fees are going £2.5m for a league one striker is about right

StokeHigh97 added 17:24 - Aug 6 Id go for Either Nahki Wells or Jordan Hugill on loan as well as Jackson or someone else permanently

jas0999 added 17:27 - Aug 6 Thank goodness. Bogle isn't that good, nor should we replace a key squad player with a short term solution in the form of a loan.

TractorBoyTommy added 19:54 - Aug 6 @dugoutdave so please enlighten me Dave as your first post clearly seems to suggest because he was a local lad to Birmingham and played for them in the youth team he chose to sign for them over us for that reason alone.... I can wait for you to finish your game on FIFA before you reply

kingcarloss added 20:30 - Aug 6 Buy Jackson then Evans can pocket the other 2.5mil Just get on with it!!!!!

KiwiBlue2 added 22:45 - Aug 6 A strike force of Harrison, Garner, Sears and Bradshaw would be respectable supplemented by goals from midfielders and occasionally defenders. Team looking more positive this season already
