Fulham Linked With Move for Smith - Ipswich Town News
Fulham are being linked with a move for Town centre-half Tommy Smith, while Blackburn and Reading are also said to be showing interest in the 26-year-old.
According to The Sun, the Cottagers are keen on Smith and are ready to pay £750,000 for the New Zealand international.
Smith has been with the Blues since joining the academy a decade ago and has been a regular for most of Mick McCarthy’s time in charge at Portman Road.
However, with Adam Webster having signed from Portsmouth earlier in the summer, competition for Town’s central defensive roles has increased, Christophe Berra having been preferred for Smith’s preferred left-sided position in the past.
Smith is contracted to the Blues until next summer, Town having exercised an option for a further year on the deal he signed in 2013 at the end of last season.
