Town are eyeing Blackpool left-back Stephen Crainey, according to a tabloid report this morning. The 29-year-old is out of contract at the end of the season and the Blues are claimed to be ready to make a move in the new year.
Scotland international Crainey, who can open pre-contract talks with other clubs in January, is also said to be interesting overseas sides.
Crainey was previously with Celtic, Southampton and Leeds, joining the Seasiders after being released by the Yorkshiremen in the summer of 2009.
The Glaswegian has started 12 of Blackpool’s 13 Premier League games this season, so appears unlikely to want to move to the Championship at this point in his career.
Town already have Mark Kennedy, Tommy Smith, Darren O’Dea, Shane O’Connor and Jaime Peters who have played at left-back this season.
