Blade Bogdanovic Linked - Ipswich Town News
Town are amongst a number of Championship clubs reported to be interested in Sheffield United frontman Daniel Bogdanovic. The Blues, Burnley and Peterborough are said to be chasing the Maltese international, who has a year left on his Blades contract but is understood to be available on a free transfer.
Bogdanovic played for a number of clubs in Malta as well as in Italy, Hungary and Bulgaria before joining Barnsley in January 2009 and scoring in his debut, a 2-1 defeat to Town at Oakwell. In June 2010 the 6ft 1in tall striker moved to Bramall Lane on a Bosman.
Capped 33 times by Malta, having been born in Libya to Serbian parents, Bogdanovic scored five goals in 13 starts 20 sub appearances for the Blades as they were relegated to League One during 2010/11.
Elsewhere, reported Town target David Nugent will make up his mind about his future when he returns from holiday next week with Premier League sides said to be amongst those interested in signing the one-time England international.
QPR and Swansea have reportedly joined the likes of Town and Leicester in the hunt for the out-of-contract former Portsmouth frontman.
