Chambers: McGoldrick Fully Focused - Ipswich Town News

Skipper Luke Chambers says striker David McGoldrick remains fully focused on helping Town win promotion, despite the disappointment of being denied a move to Premier League Leicester City prior to the transfer window closing last week.

The Foxes are understood to have made bids of up to £7 million for the 26-year-old which Town owner Marcus Evans rejected.

"For Didz, of course it’s disappointing to miss out on playing in the Premier League but he’s a down-to-earth guy and all he wants to do now is help Ipswich into the Premier League,” Chambers told the club site.

"He’s come back into training with the lads and got on with his job, just like he always does.

"What I do know about Didz is that whenever he steps over the white line, you won’t get a more committed player and he will be giving his all for us whenever he pulls on the blue shirt.”

McGoldrick, last season's top scorer with 16 goals, missed the 1-1 draw at Derby due to a dead leg but seems certain to return to the side for this weekend's game against Millwall.

Chambers added: "We’ve all had a good break but the lads are ready to get back out there now and get stuck into two home games this week, starting with Millwall on Saturday.

"It was good to have a few days off and we all look forward to having a break when they come around. At the same time though, it’s good to get back on the training pitch with the boys.”
