Chopra Linked Again - Ipswich Town News

Cardiff striker Michael Chopra is again linked with the Blues by some of this morning’s tabloids. Town boss Paul Jewell is said to have turned his attention to a £1 million move for the 27-year-old having had his attempts to sign Doncaster’s Billy Sharp rebuffed.

Chopra was one of ex-Town boss Keane’s main targets last season, having played for him at Sunderland, but the club weren’t prepared to pay the Bluebirds' asking price.

The one-time Newcastle trainee, who is contracted to Cardiff until 2012, scored 11 goals in 28 starts and 11 sub appearances during 2010/11 despite suffering one or two injuries.

Whether Chopra, who was first reported to be a Paul Jewell target last week, is the player the Blues boss is set to meet today remains to be seen but it appears unlikely.
