Premier Pair Linked With Bishop - Ipswich Town News

Arsenal and Manchester United are eyeing Blues midfielder Teddy Bishop, according to one of this morning’s papers.

The Sun reports that there is increasing interest in Bishop, who is said to be valued at £10 million, from Premier League sides with the Gunners claimed to be "ready to beat” the Red Devils for his signature. Both clubs have regularly been represented at Town games this season.

Bishop, 18, has made a big impression since breaking into the first team at the start of the season. In September he signed a contract until 2016 with an option for a further season.

Manager Mick McCarthy said yesterday that he was aware Bishop had joined Tyrone Mings in catching the attention of top flight clubs: "[Teddy] is attracting almost as much interest as Tyrone Mings.”

The Town boss also reiterated that he expects owner Marcus Evans to rebuff all but the most "ridiculous" offers for his players: "There’s nothing I can do if someone wants to bid for players. All I know is that he’ll turn it down."

Meanwhile, former Blue Darren Bent has joined Town’s promotion rivals Derby County on loan from Aston Villa until the end of the season.
