Town are one of a number of Championship clubs reported to be eyeing striker Matty Fryatt following his release by Nottingham Forest.
According to HITC Sport, QPR, the Blues and one of his previous clubs, Hull City, are among the sides keen to talk to Fryatt.
The 31-year-old has been out of action since March 2015 due to an achilles problem but is now said to be fit and ready to make his return.
Nuneaton-born Fryatt started his career with Walsall and has also had spells with Carlisle (loan), Leicester, the Tigers and Sheffield Wednesday (loan) before moving to Forest in the summer of 2014. Over his career, he has scored 135 goals in 313 starts and 95 sub appearances.
Given his injury record, it may be that clubs would look to take Fryatt on trial during pre-season rather than immediately offering him terms.
Whether there is anything in the claimed interest in Fryatt, Town, who are close to completing the signing of Rangers striker Joe Garner, could be in the market for another senior frontman this summer but probably not while Brett Pitman is still at Portman Road.
As TWTD revealed in May, Pitman - as is the case with midfielder Kevin Bru - has been told he can move on this summer if he can find himself a club despite having another year left on his contract.
