Duo Linked With Campbell Move - Ipswich Town News

Town are set to face opposition from Crystal Palace and Bolton for QPR striker DJ Campbell’s signature, according to one of Sunday’s tabloids. The 31-year-old’s three-month loan with the Blues is up on January 5th.

Palace are now managed by Ian Holloway, who was previously Campbell’s boss at Blackpool and who tried to take him back to Bloomfield Road in September prior to his temporary switch to Town.

On Friday, QPR boss Harry Redknapp, who is short of striking options due to injuries, said he wished that Campbell was at Loftus Road and seems likely to bring him back into the fold when his loan is up, although could ultimately look to other options longer term.

Town boss Mick McCarthy - who said last week that he expected other clubs to show interest in Campbell - wants to sign him on a permanent basis but is yet to hold talks with his QPR counterpart.

The player himself, whose contract is up at the end of the season, has said he is looking for a permanent move if he isn't in QPR's plans rather than a further loan.
