Town Amongst Trio Targeting Dutch Defender - Ipswich Town News
Town, Southampton and Crystal Palace are all understood to have made loan enquiries to Celtic regarding Dutch central defender Jos Hooiveld. The 28-year-old seems certain to move to one of the three Championship sides on a six-month or season-long loan before the transfer window closes at 11pm tonight.
Hooiveld, who is 6ft 4in tall, started his career with Heerenveen, moving on loan to Zwolle between 2004 and 2006.
A year with Austrian side Kapfenberger followed, then a switch to Finnish side Intern Turku, where he spent two seasons.
In 2009 he joined Swedish side AIK, moving on to Celtic for £1.4 million in 2010. Having made only six starts and one sub appearance, the Zeijen-born left-sided defender joined FC Copenhagen on loan.
Despite playing 11 games, the Danish club decided against taking up an option to sign Hooiveld on a permanent basis.
