Howe keen for new faces

Gray has come through the ranks at St Andrews and has scored four goals in 20 appearances this season, including a hat-trick in the 6-1 victory over Reading on December 13.

Bournemouth striker Matt Tubbs has joined Portsmouth on a free transfer during the January window and Jayden Stockley has been loaned out to Luton.

That leaves space in the squad for a forward as Cherries manager Eddie Howe looks to boost their options as they push for promotion to the Premier League.
