Kenny Latest Keeper Link - Ipswich Town News
QPR’s Paddy Kenny is the latest keeper to be linked with a move to the Blues. The 34-year-old is expected to leave Loftus Road this summer with Leeds, managed by his Bury and Sheffield United mentor Neil Warnock, previously mentioned as his likely destination.
The Blues are said to be planning to make a £500,000 offer for Halifax-born Irish international Kenny, who has a year remaining on his contract.
Warnock, who signed the 6ft 1in tall keeper from non-league Bradford Park Avenue when manager of Bury, then took him Sheffield United and QPR, had been tipped to sign Kenny again this summer.
However, with talk of a possible takeover at Elland Road, the Whites are currently short of cash and were unable to complete their move for Portsmouth’s Joel Ward, who eventually joined Crystal Palace rather than Leeds or Town, who were also amongst the interested parties.
Town are very much in the market for a new number one with released Manchester United keeper Tomasz Kuszczak top of Paul Jewell’s wish-list but with top flight clubs in England and Germany also interested.
Watford’s Scott Loach, Manchester United youngster Ben Amos, former Aston Villa man Brad Guzan and Birmingham’s Colin Doyle have all also been linked.
