MK Dons take Southampton striker Sam Gallagher on loan

Southampton send England Under-19 international striker Sam Gallagher to MK Dons on a season-long loan deal.

Newly-promoted Championship side MK Dons have secured the season-long loan signing of young striker Sam Gallagher from Southampton.

The England Under-19 international moves to stadium:mk in the hope of getting regular football after not appearing once for the Saints last season.

Dons boss Karl Robinson admitted that he did not think he would be able to pull off the signing.

"He's a really talented player and it wasn't something I thought we'd have the opportunity of doing," Robinson told the club website.

"I want to thank Les Reed and everybody at Southampton for giving us the opportunity to work with Sam and I want to thank Sam for wanting to come here.

"We gave him our pitch, like an awful lot of clubs, and he felt this was right for him and we're so excited about that."

Gallagher, who made 20 appearances for Southampton in the 2013-14 season, could feature when MK Dons begin their season in the Championship with a trip to Rotherham United in 10 days' time.
