TWTD understands that Blues full-back or midfielder Jonny Parr is closing in on his move to Norwegian club Strømsgodset.
As reported last Saturday, the Blues have been in talks with the Norwegian top flight side regarding the 27-year-old Norway international, who has been left out of the starting line-up for tomorrow’s FA Cup tie against Portsmouth, although we understand he was initially pencilled in to play.
In addition to Strømsgodset, other clubs in Norway and elsewhere in Europe have also shown interest in the Oslo-born defender or midfielder.
While understood to be happy at Town, Parr has had limited first team opportunities with the Blues this season, having started only three times for Town in the Championship.
Despite Josh Emmanuel having returned from his loan spell at Crawley, the Blues seem certain to bring in cover at full-back and manager Mick McCarthy may want his new addition lined up before Parr’s exit is confirmed.
Parr, whose Town contract is up in the summer, joined the Blues following his release by Crystal Palace in the summer of 2014 and has made 29 starts and 14 sub appearances, scoring three goals.
