WANDERERS have pulled out of the race to sign Mansfield Town duo Giles Coke and Alex Baptiste after being put off by the Stags asking price.
Blues had been tracking 20-year-old midfielder Coke and 20-year-old defender Baptiste for a while but have now withdrawn their interest.
Wanderers boss Paul Lambert said yesterday: "They were players we were interested in but it is dead now.
Coke has been interesting Wolverhampton Wanderers and Northampton Town while Baptiste is currently being tracked by Nottingham Forest and Norwich City.
Lambert has now switched his attention to other targets with a defender his top priority.
He said: "I'm still trying to bring one or two more in."
