According to the Coventry Telegraph's Andy Turner, signing Nicky Ajose would be difficult.
The Yorkshire Evening Post have linked City with the Leeds United forward.
However, Andy Turner has written: "My friends up north suggest this would be a difficult deal to get over the line given the fact that Ajose has two years left on his contract at Elland Road where he’s understood to be earning three to four times more than the average City player.
The 23-year-old, coincidentally signed by Dave Hockaday, cost Leeds £150,000 from Peterborough and although the club appear ready to offload the forward who clearly doesn’t figure in Uwe Rosler’s plans, the player will be keen for a decent settlement on the remainder of his deal.
That appears a long way off at this stage and one way round it could be to agree a loan deal allowing Ajose out for the season as he did at Crewe last term when he scored eight goals in 27 games."
