Forest Could Move for Delaney - Ipswich Town News
Town’s Irish centre-half Damien Delaney has emerged as a target of Nottingham Forest. The 31-year-old has a year remaining on his Blues deal.
One of this morning’s national newspapers reported that Delaney was due to join Forest having been released by Town this summer and while the Irishman is still in contract with the Blues, there is believed to be interest from the recently taken-over club, although we understand Town are yet to receive an approach.
Forest are short on centre-halves with amongst others Luke Chambers moving on to Town this summer.
New manager Sean O'Driscoll said: "We need to supplement the squad with some defenders because, in this division that is the most important area.
"We have to bring in players with good character, who can develop and use their experience to help the squad."
The Midlanders are also targeting former Blues loanee Danny Collins, who is reportedly on the verge of a £400,000 switch from Stoke.
Delaney is also believed to be interesting Crystal Palace, who previously targeted him in January 2011 when they also made an approach for ex-skipper David Norris.
