Town are again being linked with Sheffield United defender Matt Lowton, who is also said to be interesting Cardiff and Burnley. The Blues were previously mentioned in connection with the 22-year-old right-back or centre-half in the summer and again in September.

The Championship trio are reported to be willing to part with £3 million for Chesterfield-born Lowton, although it’s unlikely the Blues — or the other clubs linked - would look to spend that sort of money on one player this summer given the new break-even model being adopted.

Lowton, who has made 45 appearances for the League One side this season, scoring five goals, signed a new three-year deal at Bramall Lane in August.

Also capable of operating in midfield, Lowton came through the youth system at Sheffield United and spent time on loan at their Hungarian sister club Ferencváros early in his career.

Special_A added 14:21 - Mar 29 3 Mill is toppy. However, if we really want to push next season then we need to show our intent early and get players in early. I hope our recent form will encourage players to PR.

irishtim added 14:35 - Mar 29 3 million forget it. As garv said NEXT

Bergholtblue added 14:46 - Mar 29 For £3 million we would need him to play in goal, be a creative midfield right back who scores lots of goals.

SuperReuser added 14:48 - Mar 29 £3m, That must value him close to the best player in league one!.... i agree 'garv: NEXT'

jas0999 added 14:50 - Mar 29 Good - we need CB's. We also need a keeper though, plus strikers and possible replacements for Muphy, Bowyer and Leadbitter. Difficult to see how we will achieve this - based on past performance in transfer market by PJ and Clegg

yorksblue added 15:10 - Mar 29 Sheff Utd back 4 is as average as ours. Their strikers have got them where they are today. I'd rather have Maguire than Lowton.

JonBlue added 15:13 - Mar 29 Very decent player but seems unlikely especially if Shef Utd get promoted. Three Million!! I'd be surprised if we spend more than that in total on transfers during the summer.

trent_blue added 15:14 - Mar 29 would love us to sign him, a great player and exactly what we need. doubt we would have to pay anywhere near 3mil up front to sign him

Langdon_Blue added 15:41 - Mar 29 Pitseablue - ha-ha...maybe he's posts are just a little repetitive, wouldn't you say?. It's like groundhog day! Although the inclusion of stats have strangely disappeared recently :-)

louiedonowa added 16:23 - Mar 29 Good player... but up here in northwest it say burnley have been quoted 1.75 mill with add ons?? 3 million for ipswich??

dugoutdave added 16:24 - Mar 29 Oh good grief ... isn't it a bit early to start the "town linked with" season. I don't know who starts these but I would rather only see reports which have some basis of facts. Otherwise I can see its going to be a long summer of conjecture and we are all going to have to suffer jas's inanes comments each & every time.
