Town reportedly could make a move for free agent winger Simon Dawkins, who left MLS side the San Jose Earthquakes in February.
According to The Sun, Blues boss Paul Lambert could take the 31-year-old on a free transfer as he looks to augment his squad.
Dawkins came through the academy at Tottenham and spent spells on loan with Leyton Orient, the Earthquakes, Aston Villa and Derby while a player at White Hart Lane.
In January 2014 the Edgeware-born left-sided wideman was sold to Derby for £500,000 without having broken into the Spurs first team.
Two years later, the 19-times-capped Jamaica international moved back to the Earthquakes in January 2016 but left this February.
Dawkins subsequently came close to joining Minnesota United and then spent time on trial with League One sides Charlton and Luton in the summer but wasn’t offered terms by either club.
Another winger with Championship experience may well be on Blues manager Lambert's wish list as he looks to add to his squad ahead of the second half of the season.
