Blues general manager of football operations Lee O’Neill says it came as little surprise to him that there was plenty of interest in members of the Town squad during the January transfer window.
Town are interested in signing Manchester City winger Bersant Celina on a season-long loan but newly-promoted Bolton Wanderers look favourites to land the 20-year-old Kosovo international.
Blues top scorer Tom Lawrence praised Town s great fans for the standing ovation they gave him as he left the field during the second half of Saturday’s 1-0 defeat to Sheffield Wednesday, his last appearance for the Blues at Portman Road. The 23-year-old Wales international, who has spent the season on loan from Leicester, was replaced in the 64th minute having suffered an ankle injury.
