Town are reported to have held talks with Nottingham Forest keeper Lee Camp regarding a move to Portman Road. The 28-year-old, who has been made available by the Midlands club, has been linked with the Blues since the middle of last week.
The Northern Ireland international, who has failed to agree new terms at the City Ground with his current deal up at the end of the season, is believed to be interesting a number of other clubs — Hull City and Reading have also been linked — and is said to want to hear what might be offered by the various interested parties before making a decision on where to go.
Town — who have also been linked with Sunderland’s Keiren Westwood and Blackpool’s Matt Gilks — look to be in the market for another keeper with loanee Stephen Henderson having returned to West Ham.
Henderson, who has an ankle injury which is likely to keep him out of action for two weeks, is keen to return to Portman Road and manager Mick McCarthy is also interested in bringing him back, although the Blues boss has concerns about the 24-hour recall clause the Hammers insist on including in any deal.
Meanwhile, former Blues reserves keeper Ian McLoughlin has joined Walsall on a month's loan from the MK Dons and made his debut against Preston at the weekend. Preston have signed former Chelsea keeper Rhys Taylor, who was on trial with Town earlier in the season.
