Eagles is a target for Birmingham City

The emergency loan window opens next week and FLW understands that Birmingham manager Lee Clark is targeting the 31-year-old.

The midlands club are also monitoring the situation of former Aston Villa midfielder Isaiah Osbourne, as reported on FLW yesterday.

The free agent was released by Bolton Wanderers in May after three years at the club, and is now searching for a new club to kick start his career again, after a frustrating campaign at Wanderers.

The former Manchester United and Burnley winger made just 16 appearances during the 2013/14 season, scoring just once as Dougie Freedman opted for Neil Danns instead.

Eagles signed from Bolton in a joint £3 million move with Tyrone Mears from Burnley in the summer of 2011, and went onto make 93 appearances for the Trotters.
