From the Birmingham mail:
BLUES forward Sone Aluko has joined Aberdeen on loan.
The 18-year-old, who made his debut as a substitute in the Carling Cup on Tuesday, links up with former Blues defender Jimmy Calderwood, the Pittodrie boss.
Aluko, who has been called-up by England under-19s for a friendly against Belarus next month, has broken through to the fringes of the senior squad at Blues.
He impressed during the pre-season trip to Germany and manager Steve Bruce felt the time was right for him to gain valuable competitive experience.
An added attraction for Aluko, who can play on the left wing or up front, is Aberdeen's UEFA Cup involvement.
They have been drawn against Dnipro, from the Ukraine, in the first round proper.
