Foreign Interest in Chopra - Ipswich Town News

Blues striker Michael Chopra is a target for Turkish side Bursaspor and Russian club Spartak Moscow, according to a number of this morning’s papers. Chopra was told he could find another club at the end 2012/13 despite having a year remaining on his contract at Portman Road.

The 29-year-old has repeatedly said that he's in no hurry to leave Town but with his opportunities likely to be limited with the Blues in the new season, may well be up for a switch abroad if either club - or any other suitors - firm up their interest.

Elsewhere, the Blues are again reported to be targeting a loan return for West Ham keeper Stephen Henderson, as TWTD revealed last week.

Titus Bramble’s training return to Town — as reported here yesterday — is claimed to be the possible precursor to him rejoining the Blues by one paper, however, it seems more likely that the 31-year-old — a free agent following his release by Sunderland — will be picked up by a Premier League club.

Ex-Blues loan striker Tyrone Barnett is a target of Millwall in the wake of Peterborough United’s relegation to League One.
