Fulham Eyeing Ando - Ipswich Town News

Fulham are keeping tabs on Town midfielder Paul Anderson, TWTD understands.

The 26-year-old’s Blues contract is up at the end of the season, although Town have an option for a further year.

Anderson has been in and out of the Town side this season, making 20 starts and 14 sub appearances, scoring one goal.

The winger, who joined the Blues from Bristol City in a swap deal which saw Jay Emmanuel-Thomas move in the opposite direction in the summer of 2013, was singled out for praise by manager Mick McCarthy following Saturday’s 2-1 home victory over Nottingham Forest.

Also currently due to be out of contract at the end of the season are Elliott Hewitt (although Town have an option for another season), Noel Hunt, Stephen Hunt (but he would automatically get another year if the Blues are promoted), Jay Tabb, Paddy Kenny, Jack Marriott and Anthony Wordsworth.

Loanees Luke Varney and Richard Chaplow will also be out of contract with their parent clubs at the end of the campaign.
