Boss Jim Magilton says he has a number of transfer targets but says that Blackburn's Franny Jeffers remains top of his list. Earlier today, Rovers chairman John Williams said that his club had turned down Town's second offer for the striker, believed to be £500,000 plus top-ups.

Magilton told the club site: "I have kept in touch with Franny and he's very keen to come. These things take time but hopefully it will resolve itself soon.

"We certainly need a goalscorer, someone to take the weight of Alan Lee and Jon Walters and that remains a priority.

"We have other targets as well and have sounded some of them out. We've got a Plan A, Plan B and Plan C and when a deal is right to be done, it will be done.

"At the moment though we are working towards getting a goalscorer and then going on from there."
