Huddersfield Town boss Lee Clark says he has made no contact with the Blues regarding striker Jon Stead. Over the weekend, reports in West Yorkshire claimed that Stead was set for talks with the Terriers, his hometown club and where he started his career.
Clark says there has been no dialogue with the Blues regarding the 27-year-old: "I haven’t contacted Roy Keane about Jon Stead."
Stead looks set to leave Portman Road this summer, having spent the second half of the season on loan at Coventry.
The Sky Blues looked set to sign the former England U21 international on a permanent basis, with a fee of £400,000 having been agreed between the clubs, until manager Chris Coleman was sacked and replaced with Aidy Boothroyd.
Elsewhere, Welsh reports claim Cardiff could try to push Town to offer as much as £4.5 million for Michael Chopra, however, we understand that their valuation is closer to the £4 million mark which the Blues are reportedly set to bid for the 26-year-old ex-Sunderland and Newcastle man.
