Palace and Town Close on Garvan Fee - Ipswich Town News
Town and Crystal Palace are reportedly close to agreeing a fee for midfielder Owen Garvan. Last week the Eagles, who are managed by former Blues boss George Burley, made an offer variously claimed to be £150,000, £200,000 and £300,000.
Burley is a big fan of Garvan, recently saying that the former Irish U21 international skipper is someone who would fit into his Palace side: "He’s a good passer of a ball and someone who I feel who can do well for me. He’s my type of player.”
Garvan is understood to have been on the list of eight players made available for transfer by Town, but the academy product is believed to be happy at Portman Road and may not fancy the move to Selhurst Park.
Meanwhile, former Blue Darren Ambrose has signed a new three-year contract with the Eagles ending speculation regarding his future.
Elsewhere, ex-striker Billy Clarke has been ruled out of Blackpool's entire inaugural Premier League campaign having undergone surgery on a ruptured cruciate knee ligament.
