AFC Wimbledon fans are reacting to reports linking Deji Oshilaja with moves to clubs including Sunderland and Barnsley.

HITC Sport understands both Sunderland, Barnsley and Fleetwood Town have made their interest known in the Wimbledon defender.

 

And Oshilaja is expected to leave the London club when his contract expires this summer.

The 25-year-old has played 32 times for Wimbledon in all competitions this past campaign - his second since returning to the club at which he was previously on loan - and many as captain.

But the response from some Dons followers does not bode well for the likes of Barnsley and Sunderland.

Oshilaja began his career at Cardiff City and had loan spells at Newport County, Sheffield Wednesday, Wimbledon and Gillingham before finding a more permanent home at Kingsmeadow.

The Bermondsey-born player can operate anywhere across the back line and as a holding midfielder.
