Town are reported to be close to signing ex-Wolves central defender Christophe Berra. The 28-year-old is out of contract having been released at the end of the season and has previously been linked with Rangers and Championship clubs including Blackpool.
Edinburgh-born Berra came through the youth system at Hearts and broke into the senior side in the 2003/04 season.
Capped 27 times by Scotland, scoring twice, Berra joined Mick McCarthy’s Wolves for £2.5 million in January 2009. The 6ft 3in tall defender went on to make 149 starts and five sub appearances while at Molineux without scoring.
Berra, whose father is French, had been linked with a move back to Scotland and Rangers but speaking over the weekend Gers’ boss Ally McCoist said he expected him to go elsewhere: "The deal for Berra is off. I think he is going to go to a Championship club.”
Meanwhile, Blackburn have confirmed the signing of Matt Kilgallon, another Blues defensive target, on a two-year deal.
Ex-Blue Matt Richards has joined Cheltenham on a two-year contract having left Shrewsbury at the end of last season.
