Wolves Linked With Sharp Move - Ipswich Town News

Premier League Wolves are ready to make a move for Town target Billy Sharp, according to one of this morning’s tabloids. The 25-year-old Doncaster man is said to be on the Midlanders' summer wish-list regardless of whether they are relegated this weekend.

Manager Mick McCarthy is said to be ready to offer Rovers £2.5 million for the ex-Sheffield United man, who was the subject of a rebuffed £2.3 million bid from the Blues last week.

Town also offered Doncaster £300,000 for midfielder James Coppinger and look likely to make further offers for the pair.
