Sheffield United are reported to be in discussions with the Blues regarding the loan signing of winger Chieo Ogbene.
Yesterday, Town boss Kieran McKenna revealed that the 29-year-old could move out on loan before tomorrow’s 7pm deadline to get regular football following his lengthy spell out due to the ruptured achilles he suffered at Brentford last October.
According to BBC Radio Sheffield, the Blades, the Blues’ next opponents at Portman Road a week on Friday, are in talks with Town about taking the Irish international on loan.
Explaining the situation, McKenna said at last night’s press conference: "There’s a possibility, and it’s only a possibility, that Chieo might go on loan.
"A player, of course, coming back from a really, really big injury. He’s done terrific to get himself out there for us this year, but probably had to come into competitive games sooner than would have been ideal.
"So, we feel, Chieo feels that a period now where he can possibly build up his minutes on loan, really just focus on getting his body to the best condition and play really regularly for someone over the next period, could be beneficial, get himself up to full speed.
"That’s an option we’re looking at over the weekend. What level? There are few different options.”
