Aston Villa and Cardiff City are both keen to take Lewis Grabban on loan from Bournemouth.
South Londoner Grabban recently completed a spell on loan at Sunderland, where he scored 12 goals in 19 Championship appearances.
He looks set to move on loan again for the second part of the season and promotion-chasing Villa and Cardiff are looking to snap him up.
Grabban, 30, started his career at Crystal Palace and played for Millwall, as well as on loan at Brentford.
Since joining Bournemouth from Norwich City the striker has started just four league matches for the south-coast club and is not in their first-team plans.
He ended last season on loan at Reading, where he made 16 Championship appearances, scoring three goals.
