Town boss Roy Keane is being linked with a £3 million summer move for Cardiff City striker Michael Chopra. The 26-year-old played under Roy Keane at Sunderland and the Blues have been linked with the former England U21 international on a number of occasions.
The Town manager brought Chopra from Cardiff to Sunderland for £5 million in the summer of 2007, the former Newcastle man netting eight times in 24 starts and 18 sub appearances during his time at the Stadium of Light.
Chopra’s record in his spells with Cardiff is more prolific, the frontman scoring 22 goals in 44 games in his first and 25 in 63 starts and 11 appearances from the bench since returning initially on loan last season.
Earlier in the season, Keane said he would have been interested in signing Chopra last summer but was aware that his £3 million move back to Wales was already all but done by the time he took over at Portman Road.
The Town boss is said to be ready to make his move if the Bluebirds fail to win promotion to the Premier League via the play-offs and find themselves needing to raise cash in the summer.
