Strike Pair and Daggers Winger Linked - Ipswich Town News

Town have again been linked with summer moves for Doncaster Rovers striker Billy Sharp and Dundee United frontman David Goodwillie. The Blues are also said to be chasing 22-year-old Dagenham and Redbridge winger Danny Green.

Sharp, 25, has long been linked with the Blues with manager Paul Jewell having watched the former Sheffield United man in action against his old club Derby in March. Further reports claim that Rovers value Sharp at £2.5 million.

Scottish 22-year-old Goodwillie, who according to today’s reports will be the subject of a £750,000 Town offer, was first mentioned in connection with the Blues early last month with Jewell having confirmed that Dundee United had been watched, winger Craig Conway previously having been said to be a target.

Daggers right winger Green has also been linked with Brighton and has been watched by a number of Championship sides recently.

The former Northampton and Nottingham Forest youth player dropped into non-league with Bishop’s Stortford before signing for the Daggers in May 2009. Since then the 6ft-tall Harlow-born midfielder has scored 27 goals in 93 starts and three sub appearances.

Green, who netted his 13th goal of the season in yesterday’s 3-0 League One victory over Carlisle before being sent off for a second bookable offence, is contracted to the Essex side until 2013.

Earlier in the week, the Blues were again mentioned in connection with Green's Daggers team-mate Romain Vincelot.
