Loan Bid for Hull Veteran Turned Down? - Ipswich Town News
Town are reported to have failed in a loan bid for Hull City’s Kevin Kilbane. The Irish international left-back or left midfielder is now being linked with a £400,000 move to Celtic, with Bolton also reported to be interested.
The Blues are looking for a left-back during the transfer window with Celtic’s Lee Naylor understood to be a target. According to today's reports, Roy Keane made an enquiry regarding Kilbane joining Town until the end of the season last week but was rebuffed.
KIlbane, 32, who is believed to be on £25,000-a-week, a wage which is likely to be double what any player at Portman Road earns, looks more likely to be on his way to Celtic or Bolton than Town.
Meanwhile, former Blue Shefki Kuqi’s move from German side Koblenz to Swansea is back on with the Finnish international’s representatives holding talks with the Swans late last week.
