Town have approached Sheffield Wednesday regarding left-sided winger or full-back Marvin Johnson.
The 33-year-old was mentioned in connection with the Blues early in the summer but with the claims dismissed by Town sources.
However, according to the Sheffield Star, Town have made contact with the Owls regarding the Birmingham-born wideman and TWTD understands the Blues are indeed showing interest, although reports of a £1 million offer are wide of the mark.
Johnson started his career in non-league with Solihull Moors, Coleshill Town (loan), Romulus, Kidderminster Harriers and Hednesford Town before making a move to Motherwell in 2015.
Spells with Oxford United, Middlesbrough and Sheffield United (loan) followed before he moved on to the Owls in August 2021 on a free transfer.
A regular in the side which won promotion from League One via the play-offs last season, Johnson is probably best known to Town fans for elbowing Wes Burns in the match between the Blues and Owls at Portman Road in February last year and subsequently receiving a three-game suspension.
Interest in Johnson may indicate that Brandon Williams’s loan from Manchester United is set to be brought to a premature end, the full-back having recently returned to Old Trafford for assessment after illness and injury issues.
