TWTD understands that Town and Charlton are watching developments regarding winger Cameron Stewart, whose impending permanent switch to Leeds United looks set to be cancelled by the West Yorkshire club.
The 23-year-old joined the Whites on loan from Hull in January with a three-year contract which would be formalised on July 1st signed as part of the deal.
However, with manager Brian McDermott having moved on and the club now under new owner Massimo Cellino, Leeds are understood to be working on finding a way to extricate themselves from the arrangement. Town and the Addicks, with whom Stewart has previously been on loan, are interested observers of the situation.
The Blues were mentioned in connection with a move for Stewart last summer and then again in January.
Stewart began his career with hometown club Manchester United during which time he went on loan to Yeovil and Hull before moving to the KC Stadium on a permanent basis in January 2011.
Having been on loan at Burnley and Blackburn during 2012/13, the former England U17, U19 and U20 international spent the first half of last season on loan with Charlton before making his move to Leeds in January with his Tigers contract up this summer.
Meanwhile, Town are reportedly set to receive a small sell-on from former midfielder Conor Hourihane’s move from Plymouth to Barnsley.
The Irishman, who completed a switch worth a reported £200,000 earlier today, followed his former Sunderland manager Roy Keane to Portman Road in the summer of 2009 but moved on to the Pilgrims, where he was skipper last season, on a free transfer a year later having been unable to break into the first team at Portman Road.
