The Cameroon international has emerge as a last minute target for Neil Warnock but the clock is against them to get a deal done as the window closes at 11pm.
Potentially heading for the exit door at the Riverside is Sam Morsy with three Championship rivals all reportedly chasing his signature.
It’s expected to be a busy day on Teeside with a number of rumours still floating around.
Elsewhere, Huddersfield Town and Coventry City are battling it out for the signature of Bradford’s Elliot Watt.
Barnsley could be set to get two more deals over the line before the window shuts while Hull City, working under difficult circumstances, could be bringng a familiar face back to the MKM Stadium for a second loan spell.
Meanwhile, Reading have agreed a deal with former Crystal Palace defender Scott Dann and Sheffiled United are expected to have a busy deadline day with the Blades expected to try and get another three deals over the line following last night’s signing of Conor Hourihane.
Also working to get deals done are Blackpool who could be set to splash the cash on a League 1 star while Preston North End are working hard to land at least one new striker.
