Report: Birmingham City eye Aston Villa striker Libor Kozak

Birmingham City have reportedly added Aston Villa's Libor Kozak to their shortlist of potential new strikers.

It is believed that manager Gary Rowett is eager to bolster his goalscoring options following confirmation that Clayton Donaldson has been ruled out for six weeks with a groin complaint.

Recent speculation suggested that Arsenal's Alex Iwobi was under consideration, but Rowett has now turned his attention to 26-year-old Kozak, according to the Birmingham Mail.

Kozak has fallen out of favour at Villa Park, having not made a single Premier League appearance this term, and the report adds that he would be open to the prospect of a loan move.

The Czech Republic international joined Villa from Lazio in 2013 for £4.5m.
