Wright Linked With Blackpool - Ipswich Town News

Former Town keeper Richard Wright has been linked with Premier League new boys Blackpool. Wright, released by the Blues in May, has been training with Crystal Palace since the start of pre-season.

Palace had previously been linked with a deal for Wright if current keeper Julian Speroni were to move on, while Middlesbrough were also claimed to be interested in the 32-year-old.

Elsewhere, reports in South Wales claim Swansea could still make a move for Blues striker Tamás Priskin. Swans manager Brendan Rodgers was Priskin’s boss at Watford during the Hungarian’s most successful spell in English football and is understood to have made a £400,000 offer for the 23-year-old earlier in the transfer window.

Meanwhile the police have warned supporters about the increasing number of flares appearing on Town away terraces of late, including at Crystal Palace last week.

Suffolk Constabulary’s football intelligence officer PC Marc Norman said: "These items are not permitted inside football stadiums for very good reasons.

"They pose a serious threat to public safety and I urge anyone thinking of taking such an item into a stadium, particularly Portman Road, to think twice.”
