"He's someone who we've watched a few times now and we've got really good links with Leicester.
"It's important that we keep our momentum going and that we have all bases covered once the loan transfer window closes. He's someone who can play in a similar mould to Calvin Zola, so it gives us that option up front."
Blyth went on as a second-half substitute for Burton in last night's game against Aldershot Town.
