Wigan’s Marc-Antoine Fortuné is the latest striker to be linked with the Blues.
According to the Daily Mail, Town and Charlton are keen on 33-year-old Fortuné, who has scored only twice in 19 appearances this season, most recently in early October.
French Guiana-born Fortuné started his career in France with Angoulême, Lille, Rouen (loan) and Stade Brest before moving to Dutch side Utrecht in 2005.
Two years later he returned to France and joined AS Nancy, then moved into English football when he signed for West Brom on loan in January 2009.
After a year with Celtic, who paid £3.8 million for his services, the 6ft tall striker returned to West Brom on a permanent basis in August 2010. He spent time on loan at Doncaster in 2011 before joining Wigan in July 2013. Last season he scored five times.
While Town are looking for another striker - the Blues have been in talks with Leeds regarding the loan signing of Billy Sharp - Fortuné wouldn’t appear to be an obvious target given his recent record.
Sharp came on as a 67th minute sub for Leeds as they beat Bournemouth 1-0 at Elland Road last night.
