Kilmarnock are reportedly hoping to secure the permanent signing of former loanee Corrie Ndaba before they host Cercle Brugge in the Europa League on Thursday.

Ndaba, who was left behind when the Blues travelled to Austria last week, has always appeared certain to move on this summer following a successful spell with Killie in the Scottish Premiership last season.

According to the Scottish Herald, a fee has long been agreed between the clubs but with the 24-year-old discussing a settlement on the remaining year of his Town contract, which also includes an option for a further season.

Kilmarnock have until Tuesday to complete the deal in time for the Dubliner to face the Belgian side.

Academy product Ndaba, who is also understood to have been interesting Hibernian this summer, joined Town’s academy at 16 and has spent much of his time with the Blues out on loan having had spells with Hemel Hempstead Town, Chelmsford City, Ayr United, Salford City, Burton Albion and Fleetwood Town prior to last year’s stint at Rugby Park.

For Town, Ndaba has made four starts and one sub appearance, all in cup competitions.

Linkboy13 added 15:15 - Jul 22 Im told he was outstanding in the Scottish Premier league last season which surely must value him around the one million mark. Wouldn't be a bad idea to loan out Baggott to a side like Kilmarnock would be tough but a good experience for him.

SmithersJones added 15:39 - Jul 22 Linkboy, the most Kilmarnock have paid for a player is £340k, and that was 30 years ago. Would be very surprised if they were in a position to pay £1m for anyone.

Radlett_blue added 16:32 - Jul 22 Kilmarnock can't afford much of a fee. Their HIGHEST earning player is only on £3500 a week so we'll have to give Ndaba a pay off, which might just be covered by the fee. Town's one year option isn't really relevant to this, unless we dig in our toes & say we'll keep him in the reserves for 2 seasons, which benefits no-one.

blues1 added 17:15 - Jul 22 Muccletonjoe. What you find funny about the suggestion of loaning Baggott to Kilmarnock. Would be a good step up for him, from the previous loans he's had. He isn't gonna play here, so,why not.

muccletonjoe added 19:07 - Jul 22 blues 1 . Why not loan them Greaves as well then. Be a step up for him.

blues1 added 21:19 - Jul 22 Muccletonjoe what a ridiculous comment. Baggott is ot a 1st team player here, certainly not likely to play in thd pl this season. Still learning his trade. So a loan makes perfect sense. We've just paid £15m for Greaves, whose an experienced championship player who will likely play most games.

Tractor_Boy_in_HK added 09:17 - Jul 23 Sadly the decline of the SPL means a loan to Kilmarnock wouldn't be a step up for Baggott, with the exception of playing against two of the teams in the league. Otherwise, quality is L1 and L2 -- as shown by both where players joining the SPL come from and where they depart to upon leaving it.
