Town face competition from Bolton, Watford and Fulham for the loan signature of Jonny Williams, according to one of this morning’s papers.

The Sunday People reports that the 20-year-old Crystal Palace man, who spent a successful spell with the Blues last season, is interesting the four Championship clubs, who are able to sign players on loans of up to 93 days from Tuesday.

Town are believed to have been offered Williams on a half-season loan as part of the proposed Tyrone Mings move to Selhurst Park on deadline day, but Palace manager Neil Warnock subsequently indicated may hang on to the Wales international to give him a chance to prove himself with the Premier League side.

Elsewhere, The Sun is linking the Blues with a loan move for Sunderland striker Danny Graham.

The 29-year-old is out of Black Cats manager Gus Poyet’s plans and last season was sent out on loan to Hull City and then back to his first club Middlesbrough, for whom he scored twice in the Teessiders’ 2-0 victory over the Blues at the Riverside in March.

The former England U20 international striker was previously reported to be interesting Charlton and Wolves.

Graham, who joined Sunderland from Swansea for £5 million in January 2013, is paid a reported £30,000 a week at the Stadium of Light and if the Blues are interested they would be looking to pay only a fraction of that wage.

The Gateshead-born striker, who is contracted to Sunderland until 2016, has also been with Carlisle and Watford and had loan stints early in his career with Darlington, Derby, Leeds and Blackpool, as well as an initial temporary spell with the Cumbrians.

SamWhiteUK added 01:24 - Sep 8 We gave him a signed shirt when he left - that should be more than enough to get him back here

NoelTheDub added 02:32 - Sep 8 Unless Mick changes his style Williams is a waste we have to play through him not over him and would be nice to see Danny Graham up top with Didsy with Murf as Plan b thats what we lack options.

stevelincsexile added 10:50 - Sep 8 As much as I like Murphy he is not a prolific scorer whereas if we could Graham back in form I believe he would give us 20 gaols alongside Didsy.

theobald1985 added 16:39 - Sep 8 jas0999 is right danny graham is better than what we already have. he is a good goalscorer at championship level and cant understand anybody saying no thanks-to my mind he is better than murphy as well. having said all that i would prioritse williams as we need him more and I really want Jack marriot to be given a shot up top. I still cant get over mcarthy preferring an unfit bajner who could not even last a half to a fit jack marriot at fulham. But then i suppose marriot is not a great big lump
