Crystal Palace’s Jonny Williams is set to return to the Blues for a fourth spell.
The South London Press revealed the Blues' renewed interest in the 22-year-old this morning and TWTD understands that Wales international Williams is to rejoin on a season-long loan.
Talks are still ongoing but the deal is likely to go through with Town having hoped the signing might have been confirmed last night.
Williams initially joined the Blues in February 2014 and became a big fans' favourite during the remainder of that season.
The Pembury-born midfielder, who is contracted to Palace until 2018, returned in the September but had his spell curtailed by a thigh injury suffered in the Watford game in the November.
He came back to Town for a third spell late in the season but made only two sub appearances before suffering a recurrence of the problem in an U21s game.
Williams, who played for Wales at the European Championships in the summer, spent time on loan at Nottingham Forest and with the MK Dons last season.
He suffered an ankle injury in pre-season and so is unlikely to be fit for a few weeks.
Town are looking to add strength in depth ahead of this evening's 11pm deadline with emergency loans not available to EFL clubs this season.
Williams is expected to be one of two or three signings today with the Blues also looking to add to their strikers with Daryl Murphy having left for Newcastle over the weekend. We understand bids have been lodged and discussions are likely to continue throughout the day.
