"If he is, then we wish Pato all the best. If not then I look forward to seeing him on Monday.
"I left Callum out of the squad today because I was informed that there might be an agreement between he clubs likely to happen… I am the manger of the football club and support the club in the decisions they make.”
Paterson has played in a variety of positions over the course of his career, though the 25-year-old has been used predominantly as a right back or centre forward, though last season at Cardiff he was often played as an attacking or central midfielder.
