Town are reported to be interested in a loan move for Wolves left-back George Elokobi. The 5ft 9in tall Cameroonian was previously with Colchester United.

Elokobi, who is just back from a hamstring injury, is said to be down the pecking order at Molineux with manager Stale Solbakken keen to sell him. The Blues are claimed to prefer to take him on loan.

The 26-year-old, who suffered a serious knee injury while playing for Wolves at Portman Road in August 2008, spent time on loan at Nottingham Forest last season.

Town look short on cover for left-back Aaron Cresswell but a move for Elokobi would be a surprise with the 22-year-old very much the Blues' first choice.

Aston Villa made an enquiry regarding Cresswell last month but have not firmed up their interest and signed Middlesbrough’s Joe Bennett earlier in the week.

Paulc added 15:54 - Aug 30 You get the idea! If we signed only 10% of all the players that we've been linked with, we'd be able to start our own league! I've had ENOUGH!!!!!!!

casanovacrow added 15:56 - Aug 30 Covers 2 positions and he's a model professional. Never seen anyone take even the warm ups so seriously when he was at Col U, with any luck it could rub off on one or two

daniel9624 added 16:00 - Aug 30 Elokobi was a centre back, before becoming a rubbish Left Back, hopefully it is to compete with Smith and cover cresswell

Edmunds5 added 16:04 - Aug 30 Lets have a quick think about who could realistically join Ipswich...erm Elokobi,he'll do. I usually try and be thoughtful and patient when we're linked with players but its fast becoming a farce too the point that I have no real emotion to any player we're now interested in, still have my fingers crossed that something will come off though but I like many of our fans wont be too bothered until they're holding up a Town shirt with their name on the back.
