TWTD understands Town have now made a bid for Huddersfield winger Harry Bunn.

Reports earlier in the week claimed the Blues were ready to make a move for the 24-year-old, who is said to be valued at around £600,000, and we understand a firm offer has now been made.

Bunn has been in Austria with the Terriers squad ahead of their first ever Premier League season but was left out of the squad which drew 3-3 with VfB Stuttgart in a friendly on Tuesday without explanation.

The 5ft 9in tall wideman started his career with Manchester City during which time he spent time on loan at Rochdale, Preston, hometown club Oldham, Crewe, Sheffield United and Huddersfield, who he subsequently joined on a permanent basis in January 2014.

Since that switch Bunn, the son of ex-Oldham frontman Frankie, has made 70 starts and 28 sub appearances, scoring 17 goals.

Primarily a left-sided winger although right-footed, Bunn can also operate centrally in midfield or in a more advanced role behind a main striker.

While a fourth striker remains a priority for Town, wide midfield is another area where there Blues have been looking to strengthen. You can Read Mullet’s TWTD blog on Bunn here.

KiwiBlue2 added 04:31 - Aug 4 I think Bunn is very useful and should do well if played in his correct position. With respect to getting in another striker it is likely to be cheaper now than in January if we intend to buy one. Suspect that a loan is more likely. Excited by start of another season but somewhat apprehensive after last weeks massacre by Charlton........

Radlett_blue added 07:45 - Aug 4 The words "Town have made a bid" never fill me with huge optimism, given Evans's parsimony in the transfer market. If we sign Bunn, at least it might mean we see less of Sears on the left wing.

mkbobby added 09:12 - Aug 4 I love reading these comments from people saying about singing wingers but we not got a big man in the box why do we need a big man if we can get strikers on the end of crosses, wingers are primarily used to get behind their man and get the ball into dangerous areas not cross the ball from 30 yards out and and 10 feet in the air so if we intend on playing the ball on the ground surely it's better to have strikers like garner and Sears making runs in and around the box and getting on the end of low crosses
