Birmingham City leading the chase from Hearts forward

Birmingham City are reportedly leading a three club race for Hearts striker Osman Sow, according to HITC Sport.

The website claim that the two challenging sides that Blues are up against for the 25 year old striker are Celtic and Rangers.

Sow, who has scored an impressive 23 goals in 51 league and cup appearances, was released by Crystal Palace in the summer of 2014 and has really made a name for himself in Scotland.

It is believed that Gary Rowett has been watching the forward for a good part of this season and that there is a genuine interest in the Swedish man.

However, there has been no official comment from either club on this matter, or from the other two interested parties so finding a concrete amount of evidence on this rumour has been tough.
