Millwall and Blackpool are reported to be interested in signing former Blues loanee Guirane N’Daw. The 29-year-old midfielder spent 2012/13 on loan at Town and is a free agent with his contract at parent club St Etienne up at the end of June.
Speaking a month ago at the start of pre-season training, boss Mick McCarthy hadn’t entirely ruled out the Senegal international returning to Portman Road: "I spoke to his agent and we’ll just wait and see.
"We’ve got Anthony Wordsworth, we’ve got Luke Hyam, we’ve got Cole Skuse and Tabby can play in there, although he played wide for us and was exceptional, I thought.
"We’ll wait and see what my budget allows me to do. There’s a budget that I can get certain players in and I want to get them in and make sure I get the right squad together.”
