Blues Amongst Clubs Eyeing Baxter - Ipswich Town News

Town, Burnley, Birmingham and Blackpool are reported to be keeping tabs on former Everton man Jose Baxter (left), who joined League One Oldham in the summer.

The 20-year-old former England U16 and U17 international signed a four-month contract at Boundary Park in September after leaving Goodison Park having been released after turning down a new contract on reduced terms.

The striker, a one-time Tranmere loanee, spent time on trial at Crystal Palace in the summer but failed to win a contract due to his lack of fitness.

Since joining the Latics he has made four starts and three sub appearances, scoring twice.
