Cardiff City defender Deji Oshilaja, who has enjoyed loan spells at Sheffield Wednesday and Gillingham among others, is close to joining AFC Wimbledon, according to reports.

Website Allnigeriasoccer.com have reported Oshilaja's representatives are in "advanced talks" with the Dons about a deal for the London-born player, who is eligible to represent Nigeria or England at international level.

The website continues that the 23-year-old has agreed personal terms with AFC Wimbledon.

Oshilaja, who made 40 appearances for Gillingham last season while on loan, will be no stranger to the Dons fans should he sign, having made 23 appearances for the club in League Two in the 2014-15 season.

Under six-foot, Oshilaja isn't the tallest for a centre-back, but insists that doesn't hold him back.

“I’m not the biggest, but I jump pretty well and work hard at making sure I am in the best positions to defend,” he told Wales Online in 2015.

“Big strikers don’t worry me. I am strong enough to do my job.

“This is a huge season for me and if the gaffer needs me at any time, in any position, I’ll be ready.”
