Town are reported to be interested in Blackpool left-back Bob Harris. The 25-year-old joined the Tangerines on a free transfer from Queen of the South in his native Scotland last summer but has made only nine starts and one sub appearance for the Seasiders, none so far this season.

Blackpool are said to been keen to keep hold of 5ft 8in tall Harris, who also played for Clyde early in his career, but may be willing to allow the Glaswegian to move on loan to gain experience with the Blues and several other clubs believed to be interested.

Town are short on cover for Aaron Cresswell, but with the former Tranmere man established as the Blues’ left-back Harris would have limited opportunities to play if he were to move to Portman Road, as things currently stand.

Aston Villa appear unlikely to follow up last month’s enquiry for Cresswell with Middlesbrough’s Joe Bennett the left-back Paul Lambert is currently looking to add to his squad.

Last week, the Blues were linked with Liverpool youngster Jack Robinson and he and Harris may be viewed as potential targets should Villa or another club show serious interest in Cresswell.
