Town are reportedly closing in on the signing of Hull City striker Will Keane.
According to HITC Sport, the club is in talks with the Tigers regarding Keane and TWTD understands there is substance to the report.
The 25-year-old is on the fringes at the KCOM Stadium and manager Nigel Adkins is said to be willing to allow him to depart.
Stockport-born Keane, who is out of contract at the end of the season, came through the ranks at Manchester United where he made two sub appearances in the Premier League and spent spells out on loan at Wigan, QPR, Sheffield Wednesday and Preston.
In August 2016, Hull paid the Red Devils a reported £1.02 million for 6ft 2in tall Keane, who has been capped by England at U16, U17, U19, U20 and U21 levels.
A serious knee ligament injury - the second of his career, he previously missed the whole of the 2012/13 campaign - saw him sidelined for more than a year of football with the Tigers and he has made only 11 starts and 15 sub appearances, scoring once, since making his move to East Yorkshire.
Overall, Keane, whose twin brother is England international centre-half Michael, has netted only six senior goals in 45 starts and 33 games from the bench.
This season he has made one Championship start - the 2-0 win at Leeds last Saturday - and seven sub appearances, in addition to two games in the EFL Cup, without finding the net.
Manager Paul Lambert is on the lookout for two strikers during the January transfer window with a big number nine a priority as he looks to turn Town’s season around in the second half of the campaign.
