Swansea Linked With Priskin Move - Ipswich Town News
New Swansea boss Brendan Rodgers is reported to be targeting Town striker Tamás Priskin. The Hungarian international had his most successful season in English football playing under Rodgers at Watford prior to his £1.7 million move to the Blues last summer.
Despite last year’s poor showing, when he scored twice for Town before being sent out on loan at QPR, Priskin was not one of the eight players made available for transfer earlier in the summer. So far in pre-season, the 23-year-old has been a regular starter in Roy Keane's side.
Meanwhile, Sheffield United have confirmed that they will pay the wages of former Blues loanee Simon Walton for the entire season, despite the on-loan Plymouth player picking up a season-ending cruciate knee ligament injury.
Blades boss Kevin Blackwell said: "He is contracted to us for this season so we are responsible for his wages."
The 22-year-old only moved to Bramall Lane last week and suffered the injury in a friendly against Mansfield.
Elsewhere, former defender Titus Bramble is set to join Sunderland from Wigan. The clubs have agreed a reported £1 million fee and the 29-year-old is to hold talks regarding personal terms and undergo a medical at the Stadium of Light.
