Town are reported to have made a loan offer to Cardiff City for striker Omar Bogle.
According to Sky Sports, the Blues have made an approach to take the 25-year-old striker on loan for the season.
Bogle played for Blues boss Paul Hurst at Grimsby and scored 16 times in 2015/16 during which the Mariners’ won promotion from the Vanarama National League via the play-offs, the Sandwell-born frontman scoring twice in the final.
The one-time Solihull Moors frontman broke into the Championship with Wigan in January 2017 when he joined them for £750,000.
TWTD revealed that the Blues were among a host of clubs to watch Bogle in action for Grimsby just prior to his switch to the Latics.
Following Wigan's relegation to League One, Bogle moved on to Cardiff for £1 million last summer but made only five starts and seven sub appearances, scoring three goals, the first against the Blues, before joining Peterborough on loan for the second half of 2017/18. While with Posh he netted once in four starts and five sub appearances.
Town are keen to add another striker to their squad with Martyn Waghorn appearing all but certain to move on before the transfer deadline next Thursday with Derby or Middlesbrough his most likely destination, while a number of other Championship clubs including Sheffield United are also interested.
The Blues are understood to have made a £1.5 million offer to Accrington for Kayden Jackson with a number of other Championship clubs including QPR also believed to be eyeing the 24-year-old, who like Bogle spent time playing at Grimsby under Hurst.
As reported last night, Town are set to confirm the loan signing of Fulham midfielder Tayo Edun later today, while they already have two other loanees - Trevoh Chalobah and Janoi Donacien, whose move from Accrington is initially a loan but will become a permanent switch - with clubs limited to naming five in their matchday 18.
