Gills Midfielder Linked - Ipswich Town News
Surprise deadline day reports are linking the Blues with an unlikely move for Gillingham midfielder Bradley Dack.
According to The Sun, Town have made a £2 million approach for the 22-year-old, who has scored 14 goals from midfield for the Gills in League One this season and has also been mentioned in connection with Bristol City and Reading.
Later reports claim that offer has been rejected, however, Town are highly unlikely to have been willing to pay out a fee of anything approaching that size.
Speaking at lunchtime, Blues boss Mick McCarthy reiterated that he was happy with his squad and had no plans to make any additions before tonight’s 11pm deadline, although he did say he had made some enquiries regarding "younger" players and said they were "non-starters really in terms of the money", which may be the source of the Dack claims.
Greenwich-born Dack played youth football with Charlton before moving to the Kent side’s youth set-up. He spent time on loan with Braintree in 2013 and is contracted to the Gills until 2018.
