Town Eye Hearts Midfielder - Ipswich Town News

TWTD understands that Town have been eyeing Hearts defensive midfielder Eggert Jónsson. The Icelandic international can also play at centre-half and at right-back.

Jónsson has been watched by the Blues on a number of times this season with Town boss Paul Jewell recently confirming that he has been looking at the Scottish market.

The 22-year-old ball-winner joined Hearts from Icelandic side KF Fjardabyggdar in July 2005, having made his senior debut as a 15-year-old, and broke into the Edinburgh club’s first team in the 2006/07 season.

Last season the Reykjavik-born player, who is contracted to his club until 2012, was named the Hearts Player of the Year in 2010.

Jónsson, 6ft 2in tall, has won eight full international caps, in addition to making appearances at U17, U19 and U21 levels.

Meanwhile, former Blue Tommy Miller has been released by Sheffield Wednesday, while ex-academy defender Lee Beevers is leaving Colchester with his deal also up.
