Birmingham boss Redknapp targeting Southampton striker Gallagher

Birmingham City boss Harry Redknapp is targeting Southampton striker Sam Gallagher.

The Sun says Redknapp is looking to strengthen his Championship side having signed just two players so far this summer.

Redknapp is particularly looking to improve his striking options, having agreed to a one year contract at St Andrew's, and reportedly has his sights set on Gallagher who has represented England at youth level.

The 21-year-old Southampton striker came through the ranks at Plymouth Argyle's academy and joined the Saints in 2012, but has spent the last two seasons out on loan.

Gallagher managed to score 12 goals for Blackburn last season, but didn't have much luck at MK Dons in the 2015/16 season where he failed to score in his 15 appearances and was subsequently recalled to Southampton.
