Town’s move to sign Rangers striker Joe Garner is expected to be completed later this week, TWTD understands.
TWTD revealed that the Blues were close to making their first signing of the season on Sunday with a fee of £1 million - Town's first seven-figure outlay since the recruitment of Paul Taylor for £1.5 million from Peterborough in August 2012 - having been agreed between the clubs.
The further formalities relating to the deal are in the process of being concluded with Garner, 29, set to pen a three-year contract with the Blues.
Garner moved to Ibrox from Preston for £1.4 million last summer, when Town we understand were also interested, signing a three-year contract.
The former England U16, U17 and U19 international scored 10 goals in 22 starts and 12 sub appearances during 2016/17.
Garner started his career with his hometown club Blackburn Rovers but was unable to break into the first team prior to moving on to Carlisle, initially on loan, then Nottingham Forest, Huddersfield (loan), Scunthorpe (loan), Watford and Carlisle for a further loan spell before joining Preston in 2013.
While with the Lilywhites the 5ft 10in tall frontman scored a 20-minute second-half hat-trick as the Lancastrians beat the Blues 3-2 in an FA Cup third round replay at Deepdale in January 2014.
The following season Garner won the League One Player of the Year award as he helped Preston into the Championship via the play-offs.
