Leicester hope to seal the £2million capture of Birmingham star DJ Campbell this weekend, amid reports he is wanted by three of their rivals.
The Foxes have been in lengthy negotiations over the sale of the former Brentford striker, having initially been put off by Birmingham's £2million valuation.
But with reports linking Watford, Charlton and Cardiff - armed with the £5million transfer fee received from Sunderland for Michael Chopra - Leicester are keen to wrap up his signing as soon as possible.
Allen knows that Leicester may well have to stump up Birmingham's asking price, particularly because if the move falters, an auction could take place as Blues would want to maximise the asking price.
Campbell - who joined Blues from Brentford for £500,000 - has no great desire to leave St Andrews.
But Blues boss Steve Bruce cannot guarantee Campbell a regular place this coming season, and could cash in to add funds to the transfer kitty
