Released Blues midfielder Kevin Bru is closing in on a move to Apollon Limassol, according to reports in Cyprus, while Preston are said to have fought off competition from Cardiff City to land ex-Town keeper Michael Crowe.
Cypriot website 24 Sports say talks between Apollon and Bru are at an advanced stage with negotiations regarding personal terms ongoing but with the move expected to be confirmed soon.
Bru, 29, who joined Town in the summer of 2014 after a successful trial having left Bulgarian side Levski Sofia, made 62 Blues starts and 41 sub appearances, scoring four goals. He left Portman Road in April with his contract up this summer.
Released keeper Crowe is reportedly close to joining Preston, having also been interesting newly-promoted Premier League Cardiff.
Former Wales U21 international Crowe, who was called up to the senior squad by Ryan Giggs in March without winning a cap, left the Blues at the end of the season after six years at Portman Road.
He joined the academy from IK Start in Norway, the country in which he grew up having been born in London.
The 22-year-old was on the bench for the Town first team on 47 occasions but without ever making his senior debut.
