Bishop Linked With Premier League Pair - Ipswich Town News
Town are reported to have put a £9 million price tag on 18-year-old midfielder Teddy Bishop.
According to The Sun, Liverpool and Arsenal are both keen on Bishop, who they claim "looks certain” to leave the club in the summer.
Town, who secured the academy product on a contract until 2018 with an option for a further year in February, are unlikely to want to cash in on Bishop at this early stage in his career and would almost certainly eventually want a fee somewhat in excess of the reported figure.
Bishop, like left-back Tyrone Mings, has been eyed by Premier League scouts throughout the season.
Meanwhile, ticket sales for Saturday’s crunch home game against Nottingham Forest have passed the 21,000 mark.
