Town will reportedly complete the signing of Tranmere striker James Norwood following Rovers’ League Two play-off final with Newport County.
The Blues have been linked with the 28-year-old, whose 32 goals this season won him the League Two Player of the Year gong, for a number of months with his contract up this summer.
According to the Daily Mirror Town will pip a number of clubs for Norwood’s signature, including Burton Albion and Fleetwood Town, with the move set to be confirmed following the May 25th final.
TWTD understands that although Town’s interest is very significantly progressed, the deal is not yet concluded, however, the Blues appear very much in the hotseat to make the 5ft 9in frontman their first summer addition once Tranmere's play-off is done and dusted.
Norwood was a youth player with Brighton, Crystal Palace and hometown club Eastbourne Town before breaking into EFL football with Exeter, with whom he made three starts and one sub appearances.
During two years with the Grecians, he also spent time on loan in non-league at Sutton United, Forest Green Rovers and Eastbourne Borough, before joining the Green Devils on a permanent basis in 2011.
Following his release by Forest Green, the seven-times-capped, four-goal England C international joined his current club in the summer of 2015.
In 2017/18, Norwood bagged 23 goals when they returned to the EFL via the play-offs following three years in the Vanarama National League. He scored the winner in the 2-1 victory over Boreham Wood in the final.
