Jackett Reiterates Lisbie Interest - Ipswich Town News

Millwall boss Kenny Jackett has reiterated his interest in Town striker Kevin Lisbie, however, the Lions manager says no move is imminent. The 31-year-old frontman, who spent all of last season on loan at Colchester, is one of the eight players Town have made available for transfer.

Jackett says Lisbie, who will probably be allowed to leave the Blues on a free transfer, could come into his thoughts with a loan move for Arsenal youngster Jay Simpson also possible: "We will see on Kevin Lisbie. It isn’t something right now I’m going for but he may interest me in the future.

"There is a possibility with Jay Simpson. I don’t think there is anything imminent with either him or Kevin Lisbie but they are both players we have discussed.

"There would be a long way to go before we sign any of those players and I would want to make it clear neither of them will imminently be coming in to Millwall Football Club.”

Jackett, who signed Town midfielder Liam Trotter earlier in the summer, says he will assess his squad in pre-season training before making any decisions.
