Young central defender Danny Batth is the latest Wolves player reported to be interesting the Blues. The Midlanders are said to be keen to send the 22-year-old out on loan to gain experience with Town, Millwall and Bristol City all apparently keen to take up the opportunity.
Brierley Hill-born Batth, who has previously spent loan spells with Colchester, Sheffield United and Sheffield Wednesday, will be well-known to Blues boss Mick McCarthy having come through the ranks at Molineux.
The 6ft 3in tall defender, who is out of contract at the end of the season, has made three starts (all in the League Cup) and three sub appearances, scoring once for his parent club, but has made more than 70 senior appearances for his loan sides.
With the signings of Patrick Kisnorbo, Aaron Mclean and David McGoldrick taking Town’s domestic loan total back to five — the number permitted in a matchday squad — the Blues would seem unlikely to sign anyone else on a similar basis at present.
Keeper Stephen Henderson’s spell is up after the Cardiff game and right-back Bradley Orr’s comes to an end on January 26th.
Meanwhile, the Blues, Leicester City, Middlesbrough and Peterborough are all said to be monitoring Colchester midfielder Anthony Wordsworth.
The 23-year-old was in action for the U's against Coventry in the game manager Mick McCarthy and assistant Terry Connor watched in November.
