Town are again being linked with Tranmere keeper Owain Fon Williams, who is available on a free transfer. The Blues were understood to have targeted the 27-year-old Welshman last summer before he opted to sign a new two-year deal at Prenton Park, while he was previously linked with a move to Portman Road in 2009 and again in the summer of 2010.
According to Sky Sports, a clause in Williams’s contract, which has another year left to run, allows him to move on for nothing this summer. The Blues, Blackpool, who were also linked last year, and Leyton Orient are said to be monitoring his position.
Penygroes-born Williams started his career with Crewe but moved on to Stockport in 2008 without making a senior appearance.
It was while with the Hatters — during which time he had a short spell on loan at Bury - that he attracted Town’s interest.
In January 2011 6ft 4in tall Williams moved on to Rochdale where he remained until the following summer when he joined Tranmere.
Williams has been capped by Wales at U17, U19 and U21 levels and has been included in full squads but so far without making his full international debut.
