Town, QPR and West Ham are all understood to have been alerted to the availability of Slovenian international defender Marko Å uler. The 28-year-old is currently with KAA Gent in Belgium but is looking to move on.
Å uler is unhappy at Gent because manager Trond Sollied plays him at left-back rather than the central defensive position he has occupied while winning 27 caps and scoring two goals for his country. Gent are believed to be willing to allow the 6ft 2in tall defender to leave if they receive the right offer.
Rated at around the €2 million mark, Šuler played youth football with hometown club NK Slovenj Gradec, then moved over the border to Austrian clubs SAK Klagenfurt and Kärnten.
In 2001 he was back in Slovenia with Dravograd, before departing for Gorica in 2004. After four seasons there, he joined Gent in 2008.
Meanwhile, Shamrock Rovers, the club where ex-Town skipper and boss Jim Magilton is temporary assistant manager, have become the first Irish side ever to reach the group stages of a European competition.
Dublin-based Rovers, who are managed by Magilton's former Northern Ireland team-mate Michael O'Neill, won 2-1 after extra time away in Serbia against Partizan Belgrade this evening to go through to the Europa League group phase, having drawn 1-1 in the home leg.
