Leeds midfielder Paul Green is reported to be in talks with the Blues regarding a loan move. Republic of Ireland international Green is out of favour at Elland Road and hasn’t played a first team game for the Whites since October.
Green, 30, was previously linked with the Blues during Paul Jewell’s time as boss, the former Town manager having signed him during his spell at Derby.
Pontefract-born Green started his career with Doncaster Rovers, joined Derby on a free transfer in the summer of 2008 and then moved on to Leeds in June 2012, signing a two-year deal. He has been capped 20 times by Ireland, scoring once.
Green, who is 5ft 9in tall, has made 42 starts and four sub appearances during his time with Leeds, scoring four goals, one in last season's 2-0 defeat of the Blues at Elland Road. He suffered a hamstring injury while on international duty in November but returned to training earlier in the month.
Town manager Mick McCarthy is keen to get Anthony Wordsworth out on loan to play games, but with Luke Hyam sidelined with a gashed leg, has said he would be unable to do so unless he brought someone in.
