Town are targeting Fulham keeper David Stockdale, according to reports in London. The 25-year-old is keen to go out on loan to gain experience with the Blues and Stockdale's hometown club Leeds said to be interested.
Earlier this month Swansea made an unsuccessful attempt to sign the former York and Darlington glovesman on a permanent deal but the Cottagers are only willing to discuss a loan deal, which would include a recall clause in case first choice Mark Schwarzer picks up a knock.
Manager Martin Jol confirmed that there are a number of interested parties: "We are talking to a few clubs because the conditions need to be finalised.
"We want to recall him if necessary because if something happens with Mark we need a back-up."
Stockdale, who is 6ft 3in tall, played youth football with Huddersfield before joining York's youth set-up, breaking through into the first team in 2003.
Having spent time on loan at Wakefield-Emley and Worksop Town, Stockdale moved to Darlington on a free transfer in 2006.
Impressive performances for the Quakers led to Fulham offering a fee which would eventually reach £600,000 after various clauses had been triggered in June 2008.
While at Craven Cottage, Stockdale has spent time on loan at Rotherham, Leicester and Plymouth and he has made only 13 starts for the Londoners, eight in the Premier League.
An England National Game XI player while in the Blue Square Bet Premier with York, he was named in the full England squad twice earlier this year but is yet to win a cap.
Town boss Paul Jewell has never appeared entirely convinced by first choice Márton Fülöp, replacing him with deputy Arran Lee-Barrett for a spell towards the end of the season before recalling the Hungarian.
Lee-Barrett, who signed a new two-year deal over the summer, and Fülöp, who was briefly linked with Turkish side Bursaspor prior to Scott Carson joining them, have both started games during pre-season.
