Coventry have offered Town £750,000 for striker Alan Lee, according to one of Thursday s newspapers. TWTD was first to report the Sky Blues renewed attempts to sign the Irishman on Wednesday afternoon.
The deal to bring David Norris to Portman Road from Plymouth could be completed today, according to sources in the South-West. The 26-year-old s switch from Argyle to Town has been the longest running saga of the transfer window with the Blues making three offers for the midfielder.
Town boss Mick McCarthy says Preston manager Simon Grayson jokingly put a £4 million price tag on striker Jordan Hugill after the 24-year-old Blues target netted a late equaliser the sides drew 1-1 at Deepdale. McCarthy is understood to have had bids of £1.5 million and this week £2 million turned down for the former Port Vale man.
TWTD understands Town were among a legion of clubs to send a scout to watch Stevenage beat Grimsby 2-0 this afternoon with Mariners striker Omar Bogle likely to have been the reason for their trip.
