Leeds Linked With Chambers - Ipswich Town News
Leeds United are interested in Town target Luke Chambers, according to reports in Yorkshire. The Nottingham Forest centre-half, whose contract at the City Ground expired at midnight last night, has been tipped for a Bosman free move to Portman Road this week.
Despite adding January Town target Jason Pearce from Portsmouth early in the close season, the Whites are short on central defenders with former Blue Alex Bruce having been released and ex-Town loanee Darren O’Dea leaving at the end of the season.
A takeover is close to completion at Elland Road which would give manager Neil Warnock the funds to further add to his squad.
We understand Chambers is one of Paul Jewell’s top targets this summer with reports from the Midlands late last week claiming the 26-year-old former Northampton man could sign on the dotted line as soon as Tuesday, in time for the start of pre-season training on Thursday.
