Birmingham Deny Garvan Link - Ipswich Town News

Birmingham City boss Alex McLeish is reported to have denied weekend links with Town midfielder Owen Garvan.

The Irishman was said to be on his way to St Andrew's in a report which also claimed the Blues would have to sell to raise cash, something which is far from the truth.

Garvan has also been mentioned in connection with various Premier League sides including Middlesbrough, Everton and Wigan in recent months.

The 20-year-old is yet to sign his new deal with Town aimed at keeping him with the Blues until 2011. The Dubliner's current terms are up in the summer of 2009.
