With the transfer window set to slam shut at 11pm tonight, Rob Wildey takes a look at Blues` potential business.

IN

Rhoys Wiggins – The Bournemouth left back is undergoing a medical at Wast Hills today ahead of a move, potentially a permanent one. The former Charlton Athletic and Sheffield Wednesday defender has slipped down the pecking order at Dean Court and is looking for first team football. The 28 year-old will offer competition to Jonathan Grounds.

Lukas Jutkiewicz – Burnley striker is close to completing a loan move to St. Andrews. The 27 year-old has a career record of 57 goals in 286 and will offer competition to Clayton Donaldson following James Vaughan`s exit to Bury. The Southampton-born man has previously represented Everton, Coventry City and Middlesbrough, amongst others.

Marvin Johnson – The Birmingham Mail are reporting Blues` interest in Birmingham-born winger Johnson. Johnson handed in a transfer request at his current club, Motherwell, and is on Blues` radar. Reportedly, Motherwell have set an asking price of £750,000 for the 25-year-old former Solihull Moors man.

OUT

David Cotterill – The Welsh international is the subject of interest from several Championship clubs, including Cardiff City. The 28 year-old, who has made 80 appearances for Blues, has a £1.1m release clause in his contract. Gary Rowett is keen to hang on to the winger but has potential replacements in mind in the event of Cotterill`s clause being met.

Josh Cogley – Blues` young right back could be loaned out to a League Two club. Plenty are expressing an interest in the 20 year-old. Cogley made his first team bow against Oxford United in the League Cup earlier this month, but with Jonathan Spector currently occupying the right back berth, and with Paul Caddis close to full fitness, Cogley needs game time to develop.

Nicolai Brock-Madsen -Blues` Danish striker is set for a loan move to Dutch side PEC Zwolle. The 23 year-old has struggled to make an impact since joining Blues from Randers FC last summer. A loan move has been earmarked to aid the next stage of his development but if the move is a successful one, PEC Zwolle may approach Blues about making the deal permanent. Brock-Madsen has recently returned from Rio after representing Denmark in the Olympics.
