Nosworthy Held Talks With Trio While Evans Again Linked - Ipswich Town News
Sunderland defender Nyron Nosworthy is understood to have held talks with Town, Reading and Crystal Palace, while Sheffield United striker Ched Evans is again linked with the Blues as well as Cardiff City, but with Middlesbrough said to be the favourites for his signature.
Nosworthy, who spent the last season and a half playing alongside Evans on loan at Bramall Lane, was previously mentioned in connection with Town three weeks ago and may have been the player manager Paul Jewell was due to speak to just over a week ago.
The 30-year-old, targeted by his former boss Roy Keane during his time at Portman Road, still has a season remaining on his contract but the Black Cats will allow the former Gillingham full-back or centre-half to leave on a free transfer.
Evans, 22, was linked with the Blues a month ago having been another player who interested Town during Roy Keane’s time in charge.
Tony Mowbray’s Middlesbrough are reportedly the favourites to land the £1.2 million-priced Welsh international frontman, who is also believed to be on Cardiff’s hitlist.
Elsewhere, Watford are reported to have accepted an increased £3.5 million bid from Swansea for striker Danny Graham, who had previously been linked with the Blues.
