Wednesday Continue to Eye McGoldrick - Ipswich Town News

Sheffield Wednesday are continuing to keep tabs on Town striker David McGoldrick, TWTD having first reported their interest in the Republic of Ireland international a month ago.

The Owls, with whom McGoldrick was briefly on loan in 2011, are one of a number of Championship clubs eyeing the 28-year-old, who returned to action at Cambridge on Saturday having missed the first few weeks of pre-season with a hip flexor problem.

Dutch side FC Twente, who were previously keen on McGoldrick during his time at Nottingham Forest, have also shown interest but the financial side of any proposed deal would appear to rule them out of the running.

McGoldrick, among the top earners at Portman Road, probably the highest, is contracted until the summer of 2018 and Town are likely to want a significant fee, although the Nottingham-born frontman’s valuation is unlikely to be close to the £7 million they turned down from Leicester in the summer of 2014.
