Leeds Linked With Andrews - Ipswich Town News

Leeds United have been linked with a move for ex-Blues loanee Keith Andrews. The Blackburn Rovers midfielder was close to joining Town’s Saturday opponents before he moved to Portman Road on a half-season loan in August.

While boss Paul Jewell has said he remains hopeful that Town are still in the running for the 31-year-old Irishman, whose spell ended a week ago, Premier League interest probably means the Blues — and also fellow Championship club Leeds — are unlikely to get their man.

Town have other central midfielders on their list of potential signings and with no progress on the Andrews front, we understand are now looking more seriously towards alternative targets elsewhere.

On Friday, Blackburn boss Steve Kean said Andrews, who has 18 months left on his contract, is very much back in his plans at Ewood Park and will be considered for selection once he is over his hamstring problem.

The Republic of Ireland international, who scored nine goals in his time with Town, is understood to prefer an end to his unhappy spell with the Lancastrians.
