TWTD understands claims Town are interested in Preston’s transfer-listed midfielder Tom Bayliss are wide of the mark.

The Blues and Pompey were reported to be interested in the 23-year-old earlier this afternoon, however, we understand Bayliss is not among those being eyed by Town.

According to the Portsmouth News, Pompey manager Danny Cowley is a fan of Bayliss having been linked with him last summer and will be looking to add to his midfield options this summer.

Town are likely to be in the market for a deeper-lying midfielder of Bayliss’s profile, Tyreeq Bakinson having come in in that role on loan from Bristol City during the second half of last season.

Bakinson remains available with the 23-year-old not in manager Nigel Pearson’s plans at Ashton Gate.

Linkboy13 added 20:12 - May 23 I would like to see us sign Bakinson towards the end of the season he was showing good form. His languid style is not to every one's taste and with everyone fit he might not make the starting lineup but would provide good competition for places. Lee Evans would definitely have to be on his game to keep him out especially as Bakinson has better defensive qualities and has also proved he has a goal in him. It's vital that we do not lose Morsy he's that good that no one in the present squad ca n replace him and we would have to make a major signing.
