Town target Jon Dadi Bodvarsson is reportedly set to join Reading from Wolverhampton Wanderers.
According to the Wolverhampton Express and Star, Icelandic international Bodvarsson is closing in on a permanent move to the Royals.
The news is likely to come as a blow to the Blues with the 25-year-old understood to be top of Town’s wish-list as they look to bring in another striker with Brett Pitman closing in on a switch to Portsmouth.
Discussions regarding a proposed move to Portman Road had been ongoing, although were a long way off being close to a conclusion, with the Blues preferring to take Bodvarsson on loan for the season.
