Town are reported to be making a move to sign winger Harry Bunn from Premier League new boys Huddersfield.

According to The Sun, a fee of around £500,000 or £600,000 ought to be enough to secure the 24-year-old.

Bunn started his career with Manchester City during which time he spent time on loan at Rochdale, Preston, hometown club Oldham, Crewe, Sheffield United and the Terriers, who he subsequently joined on a permanent basis in January 2014.

Since that switch the 5ft 9in tall wideman, the son of ex-Oldham frontman Frankie, has made 70 starts and 28 sub appearances, scoring 17 goals.

While primarily a left-sided winger, Bunn can also operate centrally in midfield or in a more advanced role behind a main striker.

While a fourth striker remains Mick McCarthy's priority, wide midfield is another area where there Blues are certain to be looking to strengthen.

Huddersfield are in pre-season action in Austria this evening against VfB Stuttgart [a game Bunn wasn't involved in].

gixxeral added 00:40 - Aug 2 I remember when Eric Gates couldn't get in the team because Bobby thought he wasn't ready. Them under Burley we had The youngsters turning into class players over 4 great seasons that became absolute quality players. A team that competed against the very best. I went to every game for years and was so proud. Now we are scrubbing away, trying to build a team that can compete in a totally money based scenario. Good luck to Town, they really need it. Let's hope Harry Bunn fits the bill but I doubt it....what a shame.

Cloddyseedbed added 07:49 - Aug 2 Another winger!!!!!!!!!!! The winger scouts seem to be working overtime. How about making the striker scouts redundant as they can't seem to find one that is suitable. How long have they had now, could somebody remind me? Same skin flint Evans, despite all the hype. Long hard season ahead.
