Cardiff City have targeted signing Barnsley forward Cauley Woodrow before the transfer window closes on Friday, 16 October at 17:00 BST.
The Bluebirds are looking to bolster their attacking resources and believe the 25-year-old suits their needs.
Cardiff are thought to value the former Fulham striker at around ÂŁ2m.
Woodrow joined Barnsley on a permanent deal in July 2019, having previously been there on loan from Fulham, and scored 15 goals in 42 games last term.
The former England Under-21 striker has scored twice for the Tykes this season.
Cardiff are attracted to Woodrow because he can play as a targetman but also as a deep lying striker, a role currently occupied by Lee Tomlin who has been hampered with injury problems this season.
Two seasons ago Woodrow forged a profitable partnership with Cardiff's Wales international Kieffer Moore, when both played for Barnsley in League One.
However, Cardiff and Barnsley are currently believed to be some way apart on a possible fee.
