Former England coach John Gorman has been linked with a return to the Blues by one of Sunday's tabloids. Meanwhile, midfielder Veliche Shumulikoski is claimed to be interesting Fulham, West Ham, Middlesbrough and Wigan.

Gorman is reportedly set to return to the Blues as Jim Magilton's assistant, having fulfilled a similar role for a year during George Burley's spell as Town boss. Gorman, 59, left Southampton in the summer.

Fulham are said to be considering a £2 million for Macedonian international Shumulikoski, while West Ham, Middlesbrough and Wigan are all believed to have been keeping an eye on the 27-year-old, who joined the Blues on a two-and-a-half-year deal last January.
