Birmingham City are set to land Wigan Athletic fullback Ryan Taylor.
The Birmingham Mail says although the versatile right-siders arrival isn't imminent, Blues boss Alex McLeish will wrap up the deal before the end of the month.
Taylor, 23, was originally mooted as a possible make-weight in a part-exchange deal for Olivier Kapo but even though the Frenchman secured his £3.5 million move to be reunited with Steve Bruce last week, interest in the England Under-21 international remains.
