Bradford City striker set to have medical at Shrewsbury Town
Talks between Vadaine Oliver and Shrewsbury have progressed with the striker set to undergo a medical, the Shropshire Star understands.
Salop are on the hunt for reinforcements in forward areas before the 11 pm deadline, with head coach Gareth Ainsworth wanting competition for John Marquis and George Lloyd.
It was reported by the Shropshire Star on Sunday afternoon there was interest in the Bradford striker.
It is understood that talks have now moved forward, and the 33-year-old set is to have a medical at Town's Sundorne Castle training base.
Oliver would be the fourth addition of the January window for Salop, who have also signed Callum Stewart, Dominic Gape and Ricardo Dinanga this window.
The striker who came through the youth ranks at Sheffield Wednesday, had his most prolific spell at Gillingham in 2020/21 when they were in the third tier of English football, where he made 50 appearances across all competitions scoring 20 goals.
The following season he scored 11 goals in 43 games before he moved to Bradford in the summer of 2022.
His time at Valley Parade has never got going, and he went out on loan last campaign in January when he joined Stevenage, where he made 14 appearances.
