Town boss Mick McCarthy says he will be looking to add goals to his midfield during the close season with widemen again amongst his targets.
The Blues, whose midfield McCarthy admits haven t scored regularly enough, have lost a number of players who operate out wide this summer, while previous recruits such as Alex Henshall, Dylan Connolly and Cameron Stewart, who remains a Town player but is available for transfer, have failed to make an impact.
“It’s important to get our recruitment right this summer, but that’s no different from any other year really,” the Blues boss told the club website.
