Dean Smith’s side are now ready to go back in for the player, in what is a deal that looks to be gathering pace very quickly.

Reports emerged on Wednesday that suggested Smith could launch a move to sign the player in January and it now seems like a deal is close.

After establishing himself as a Croatian international at the World Cup in Russia over the summer, the player is not expected to face any work permit issues this time around.
