Celtic and Derby Leading Hooper Chase - Ipswich Town News
Celtic and Derby County are leading the chase for Scunthorpe striker Gary Hooper, according to reports this morning. The Blues, Wigan, Wolves and Coventry are also understood to have been keeping tabs on the £2 million-rated 22-year-old this season.
Bhoys boss Neil Lennon is said to have been to watch the former Grays Athletic man in recent weeks.
At least one striker is very much on Town boss Roy Keane’s summer wish-list with the Blues underperforming in front of goal this season and with the likes of Jon Stead and Pablo Couñago likely to be on their way out of Portman Road over the summer.
Meanwhile, midfielder Carlos Edwards is back in the Caribbean and was at a training session of the Trinidad and Tobago national side in Port of Spain yesterday, although only as an observer.
