Bruce Set for Sheffield United Switch - Ipswich Town News
TWTD understands that Town have accepted a bid from Sheffield United for defender Alex Bruce. The 25-year-old is likely to complete his move to Bramall Lane in the next few days with the fee probably in the region of £200,000.
Bruce was amongst the eight available players whose names have been circulated to other clubs.
The 25-year-old, who has a year left on his Town contract, spent the second half of last season on loan at Leicester. A permanent move to the Foxes fell down after manager Nigel Pearson moved on to Hull City.
The switch is likely to see manager Roy Keane move into the transfer market for an additional central defender with Damien Delaney out for three months with his thigh injury. Gareth McAuley and Tommy Smith are likely to be the club’s first choice defenders with the only cover youngsters Troy Brown and Tom Eastman.
