Town boss Paul Jewell says he has continued to monitor West Brom striker Simon Cox’s situation at the Hawthorns but so far nothing has changed. The Blues manager targeted the former Swindon man earlier in the month and didn’t rule out making a further move at some point in the future.
Jewell said: "We asked about Simon a while ago, about five or six weeks ago, but he said that he wanted to try to impress their new manager Roy Hodgson, which I fully understand. And we haven’t heard anything to the contrary.
"We haven’t been back in for him, but we have been in contact with West Brom to ask them to keep us informed if things had changed, and at the moment they haven’t.
"There might be a few other clubs interested in him, who are in a better position than us at the moment, in which case we might be up against it. But Simon Cox is not the only one that we have been enquiring about.”
Swansea are understood to want Blues striker Tamás Priskin on loan, a move which is unlikely to take place unless Town have added to their ranks before today's 5pm deadline.
