Chairman Alan Pace's pursuit of Croatian winger Mislav Orsic seemingly collapsed over the weekend as the Dinamo Zagreb favourite had a last-minute change of heart over a switch to the Premier League.
The three-time Prva HNL winner, who was inducted into the UEFA Europa League Squad of the Season last term, agreed to stay put and fight for the title, before scoring in his side's 2-0 victory at home to fellow contenders Rijeka.
But attentions may have turned to Orsik's compatriot Kristijan Lovric of HNK Gorica, who has scored 46 times in 55 games in the Croatian League.
