Kenwyne Jones could be set for an extended stay at the Britannia Stadium after his successful loan spell from Southampton.
The young striker's initial month's loan comes to an end after this weekend's Champioship clash at Wolves.
After scoring his second goal in his sixth game of his first month's loan, manager Tony Pulis has confirmed the Premiership club are now being approached with a view to keeping Jones at City for the remainder of the campaign.
He says: "Our Director of Football, John Rudge, is talking to Southampton with a view to Kenwyne remaining on loan, hopefully until the end of the season."
