The Blues failed in a bid for Burnley left-back Mo Camara towards the end of last year. The Guinean international was targeted by Joe Royle prior to taking Arsenal's Danny Karbassiyoon on loan.

Camara, 29, is out of contract at the end of the season and could have been picked up for a cut-price fee had Steve Cotterill allowed him to leave Turf Moor. Talks regarding a new deal are reported not to be going smoothly.

The former Wolves man is a good friend of Town defender Drissa Diallo, a fellow Guinean cap.

A further bid in the short-term looks unlikely, with Karbassiyoon now signed until March.
