Terrier Ward Linked - Ipswich Town News

Town and Wolves are reportedly showing interest in Huddersfield Town winger or striker Danny Ward.

According to the Sunday People the Terriers are set to offer the 22-year-old new terms with the Blues and Wolves both eyeing his situation. Ward’s current contract is up this summer but Huddersfield have an option to extend that deal.

Ward, who has previously said he is happy with the West Yorkshire side and is keen to stay, was a schoolboy with hometown club Bradford before joining the Leeds youth set-up and then moving on to Bolton.

While with the Trotters he made two senior sub appearances and spent time on loan with Swindon, Coventry and Huddersfield. He made his move to the Terriers a permanent one in the summer of 2011 for a fee believed to be in the region of £1 million.

Ward, who is naturally left-sided and 5ft 11in tall, was a regular in Mark Robins’s side during 2013/14 and scored 10 goals.

Elsewhere, the Scottish Sun reports that AFC Bournemouth are the first club to make a move for St Mirren midfielder Kenny McLean, who the Blues have been eyeing for some while.

The 22-year-old Scotland U21 international, who is also believed to be interesting Tottenham, Everton, Stoke and Leeds amongst many others, is out of contract this summer but would cost around £350,000 in compensation.

Meanwhile, Town owner Marcus Evans is joint-143rd in this year’s Sunday Times Rich List with his wealth estimated at £700 million, up £75 million on last year’s equivalent.

The Sunday Times Rich List is based on "identifiable wealth"; land, property, publicly-quoted shares and other assets, but not bank accounts to which they don’t have access. Other estimates elsewhere have previously put Evans’s wealth nearer to or above £1 billion.
