Second Wright Set for Palace - Ipswich Town News

TWTD understands that released keeper Richard Wright will opt to join fellow former Blue David Wright at Crystal Palace next season. Defender Wright is set to be unveiled as George Burley’s first Eagles signing today.

Town let both Wrights leave at the end of last season with the former England keeper subsequently holding talks with West Ham and also reportedly interesting Charlton.

The 32-year-old ex-Arsenal and Everton keeper probably favours a move to Selhurst Park ahead of a return to the Hammers because he is more likely to play regular first team football for the Championship side.

Former Town keeper-coach Malcolm Webster joining George Burley’s staff may also have a bearing on Wright's decision.
