Lambert: We re Trying to Get a Couple In
Friday, 15th Jan 2021 12:02
Town boss Paul Lambert wouldn’t be drawn into talking about other clubs players when asked about potential new signings with Preston’s Josh Harrop understood to be the Blues’ most likely first addition of the January window, while Barnsley’s Luke Thomas is also a target.
The Blues will need to have got any incoming deals done - with Harrop the closest to being completed - and rubber-stamped by midday today for the new addition to be involved at Burton tomorrow.
Asked about potential new recruits, Lambert said: “We’re trying to get a couple in just to help them on that side of it but we don’t hold the ace card on that, the other clubs do, they have the ace card on that and we have to wait and see.”

TWTD understands the Blues have offered midfielder Liam Gibbs a new contract with the youngster having already been noticed by Premier League clubs.
The 18-year-old made his first-team debut in 2019/20’s EFL Trophy tie at Colchester and played two more games in that competition this season before being handed his League One bow in November s 2-0 home defeat to Charlton.
Gibbs has been one of the outstanding performers in the U18s FA Youth Cup run and we understand his displays have caught the eye of a number of Premier League sides who have subsequently been watching him on a regular basis.
