The 25-year-old has bagged five goals in the past five games on an outstanding run of form.

That’s come as part of a return of 11 goals from just 18 games this term, with five of those appearances coming off the bench.

The man who arrived at the club from Cardiff permanently last summer has secured that goal return despite spending three-and-a-half months in the treatment room this season, after being sidelined with a thigh injury.

But his return in December coincided with an upturn in form with MK Dons and they arrive at Fratton Park unbeaten in five - a run which has seen his side blast away from the relegation battle at the foot of the table.
