Dundee United are reportedly continuing their pursuit of Blues striker James Norwood.

The Terrors, who are managed by the frontman’s former Tranmere Rovers boss Micky Mellon, showed interest in the 29-year-old earlier this month and, according to the Dundee Courier, are still working on a loan deal for Norwood.

It would be a surprise if the Blues were interested in allowing Norwood to move on this summer, while the Scottish Premiership side would presumably struggle to cover his Portman Road wages.

Additionally, given the constraints of the League One salary cap, if Norwood were to move on Town would find it difficult to bring in another striker of a similar standard.

Norwood joined the Blues last summer on a free transfer from Tranmere and went on to score 11 times in what was an injury-hampered 2019/20 campaign.

Dundee United are also understood to have shown interest in Town central defender Toto Nsiala.

herfie added 15:19 - Aug 18 Unconvinced either regarding PL's commitment to the lad, or that he continues to want to be here. On that basis, wouldn't be overly surprised to see him go. That said, if he can get fully fit, and get his head right, then he could potentially be that player we thought we'd signed. If he goes, the trick will be to use the transfer fee/wages off the book to bring in experience/quality, sufficient to improve the squad. Time will tell on that one!

ArnieM added 15:59 - Aug 18 I think there's something the Club are not being open and honest to us fans about regarding Norwood. He's not at training . Why? Is he injured ? If so ( still), Why? Is the Club trying to offload his wages for one season ? Why? Nothing makes sense . Why would a player like Norwood even want to go to Scottish football , on loan ?
