Aberdeen striker Sam Cosgrove has completed a £2million move to Birmingham City.
The 24-year-old frontman, who joined the Dons in 2018, made 103 appearances for the Pittodrie side, scoring 47 goals along the way.
A Dons statement said : "Whilst the fee cannot be disclosed, it represents a significant deal for Aberdeen FC, and underlines our commitment to developing our young talented assets, further facilitating our continued investment in the first team and youth academy."
Herald and Times Sport understand the fee to be in the region of £2million and the Dons look set to bring in Fraser Hornby on loan from Stade de Reims before tomorrow's transfer deadline.
Aberdeen boss Derek McInnes said: “We wish Sam well. He’s been a good servant to us, but we felt it was the right time for him to move on, on the back of the offer we received, and with eighteen months left on his contract.
“The improvement in Sam since he arrived is clear for all to see and I’ve no doubt he will go on and do well at Birmingham. We have benefited greatly from his goals and overall contribution to the team and we wish him all the best in the future.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
