Town are now set to confirm the signings of Shrewsbury duo Jon Nolan and Toto Nsiala on Wednesday.
The deals are all but done and there's been no hitch but the Blues have been waiting on the completion of Martyn Waghorn’s departure to Derby County before finalising the £2 million joint-move.
The cash from the striker’s sale will help fund Town’s recruitment of midfielder Nolan and central defender Nsiala from the Shrews.
Waghorn has agreed terms at Pride Park and completed his medical this evening. But given the lateness of the hour that deal is also now expected to be formally confirmed on Wednesday. The Rams will pay the Blues an initial £5 million, of which £475,000 will go to Waghorn’s former club Rangers via a 10 per cent of profit sell-on clause in the £250,000 deal which saw the 28-year-old join Town a year ago today. The overall fee could potentially rise to £7.5 million. Elsewhere, Accrington chairman Andy Holt has tweeted that there is as yet no news regarding Town target Kayden Jackson’s situation.
