Cardiff: We Don\'t Need to Sell Chopra - Ipswich Town News
Cardiff City chairman Gethin Jenkins says the recent takeover of his club by a Malaysian consortium means the Bluebirds do not have to sell striker Michael Chopra. Town are understood to have made offers of up to £4 million for the former Sunderland man, although Jenkins says reports of a bid are "speculation".
Jenkins, whose club settled their £1.9 million tax debt last week, said: "We're not in a position where we need to sell. With the new investment we're building a strong platform to go forward.
"And Michael Chopra is contracted to us and the reports of the bid is just speculation."
Town boss Roy Keane is understood to want to pair Chopra, who he signed when manager of Sunderland, with Connor Wickham next season.
