COLIN Todd prepared to step up his talent search today with a whistle-stop continental tour.

The Wanderers boss, still looking for a top-line performer to boost his strikeforce for a second assault on the Premiership, has targets to check on in Portugal, Norway and Denmark where domestic fixtures are still being played.

"There are still games to be taken in and players to be looked at," the manager confirmed as he planned his jet-setting itinerary.

The only action to date on the transfer market has involved the recruitment of right back Neil Cox from Middlesbrough - a £1.5 million deal wrapped up three weeks ago.

Since then Wanderers have been linked with a variety of players - John Beresford and Robbie Elliott at Newcastle, Darren Eadie at Norwich, Mike Sheron at Stoke and Brian Deane at Leeds.

But Todd is still looking for a striker and a new left back and, with prices quoted on the home front being as high as the £6 million Norwich are demanding for Eadie, he sees rich pickings abroad, particularly in Scandinavia.

The success of last summer's double swoop for FC Copenhagen duo Per Frandsen and Michael Johansen has, not surprisingly, tempted him back to Denmark where Brondby have already secured the title but where there are Premier Division games still to be played tomorrow and on Sunday.
