AC Milan Pair and Bohemians Midfielder Linked - Ipswich Town News
Town are set to take AC Milan youngsters Alessandro Marazzi and Alessio Manenti on trial, according to a tabloid report this morning, while Irish newspapers claim Bohemians midfielder Gary Deegan is being eyed by the Blues.
The Italian teenagers are said to be on their way to Suffolk on Monday to try their luck, but there is no mention of either player on the AC Milan website and nothing we can find on them on the Internet (anyone else find anything?).
Deegan, 21, came through Shelbourne's youth system, making his senior debut in 2006. Spells with Kilkenny City, Longford Town and Galway United followed before he joined Bohs last summer due to Galway suffering financial problems.
The Dubliner's form for his current side won him a place in central midfield in the Eircom League of Ireland Premier Division Team for 2008, picking up 28% of the votes.
