Sunderland boss Steve Bruce has confirmed that midfielder Carlos Edwards will join team-mate Grant Leadbitter for talks with Town. However, Bruce says he is unaware of any current Town interest in Nyron Nosworthy and Daryl Murphy.
Bruce says he has consented to the duo talking to Blues boss Roy Keane: "We have given both players permission to go and speak with Roy. We'll see what develops after that."
Reports in the North-East say that while a fee has been agreed for Leadbitter, talks between the clubs are still ongoing regarding Edwards but with a deal close.
Yesterday, Edwards and Leadbitter were reported to be two players in a quadruple £7 million bid which would also have seen Daryl Murphy and Nyron Nosworthy join Town, but Bruce dismissed any ongoing discussions regarding the latter pair.
In any case, Nosworthy’s agent Uben Gray appears to have ruled out his player moving to Suffolk, saying that the defender won’t be dropping down a division: "No disrespect to Ipswich, or any Championship side, but at this point in his career, that is not a move Nyron will look for.”
