Town target Ross McCormack looks set to join Hull City from Cardiff City in a swap deal which will see Daniel Cousin move in the opposite direction. McCormack was part of a proposed swap with the Blues which would have seen Jon Stead switch to the Welsh side.
Over the weekend boss Roy Keane suggested the Town deal was unlikely to go through, despite McCormack having been at the club for talks early last week.
Stead is interesting a number of other clubs with Bristol City, with whom he held talks earlier in the summer, believed to be amongst them.
