Blues Linked With McAnuff Move - Ipswich Town News

Town are being linked with a move for veteran Leyton Orient midfielder Jobi McAnuff.

According to HITC Sport, the 33-year-old is in talks with the Blues about a move to Portman Road with Orient looking to offload the winger and his wage following their relegation to League Two last season. Talks about settling his contract are understood to be ongoing.

The Londoner started his career with the old Wimbledon before moving on to West Ham, Cardiff, Crystal Palace, Watford and Reading, prior to joining the O’s last summer. He has won 17 caps with Jamaica, scoring one goal.

Manager Mick McCarthy may well be keen to add an experienced winger to his squad, having brought in youngsters Ainsley Maitland-Niles and Ryan Fraser on loan from Arsenal and Bournemouth respectively earlier this summer.

As reported last night, we understand the Blues are in talks regarding the addition of three players with Danish left-back Jonas Knudsen expected at the club for a medical and contract talks today.

Trialist Giles Coke is also understood to be close to being handed a contract after impressing McCarthy in the last two friendlies and in training.
