Wolverhampton Wanderers striker Leon Clarke has been placed on the transfer list at Molineux.
The 21-year-old is under contract with Wolves until the end of next season, but has been told he can move on, despite scoring five goals this term.
Manager Mick McCarthy told the club's official website: "I want to freshen things up in the striking department, and when I spoke to Leon we both felt it would perhaps be better for his career if he was to move on.
"He is a player who has the potential to do well and has been given the opportunity to show what he is capable of. But, for whatever reason, it's just not clicking for him here at the moment.
"Leon has been at Wolves for a long time and I think a move will give him the chance to make a fresh start."
