Striker Jon Stead's agent is set to travel to Bristol City today for talks regarding his player's personal terms at Ashton Gate. If all goes well, Stead himself is expected to undergo a medical and hold further discussions on Tuesday.

It is likely Stead, who is contracted to Town until 2011, will have to take a pay-cut to move to Steve Coppell's club, so there is still the potential for the move to break down.

The ex-England U21 international, who was in and out of the Blues team last season, was one of the eight players recently made available for transfer by boss Roy Keane.

The Blues and Robins are said to have agreed a fee between £200,000 and £250,000 for the former Huddersfield, Blackburn and Sheffield United man.

Meanwhile, Celtic are said to be close to completing the £2.4 million signing of reported Town target Gary Hooper from Scunthorpe.
