Jakupović Linked With Hull Return - Ipswich Town News

Town trialist Eldin Jakupović is set to opt for a return to Hull City, where he spent time on trial last season and was offered a deal, rather than join the Blues, according to a report. Perhaps notably, the source, the Daily Mail, is the same one which broke the news of the Blues’ interest in the Bosnian-born former Swiss international last Thursday and also revealed that the Tigers were trying to land Manchester United’s Ben Amos on loan.

The 27-year-old was offered terms at the KC Stadium by former manager Nick Barmby but the move fell through after the former England international’s departure over the summer.

Now, new boss Steve Bruce appears to have revived the deal - reportedly a two-year contract - for the free agent, who it is said will battle Amos - a player also on Paul Jewell’s list of potential new keepers - for the Tigers’ number one jersey.

On Thursday, Jewell said Jakupović was due to spend a week training with the Blues and had impressed him up to then.

However, he said that he had alternative options aside from the former Aris, Lokomotiv Moscow and Grasshoppers man: "We’re having a look at him for the week, but we’ve also got two or three other targets that even if that happens we might pursue.”
