Blues Among Clubs Linked With Marshall - Ipswich Town News
Town are one of a number of Championship clubs reportedly showing interest in Blackburn winger Ben Marshall.
According to some reports, Wolves, who are managed by Marshall’s former Rovers boss Paul Lambert, are keen on the former Leicester man and could make a move in January, while stories elsewhere claim the former England U21 international will look at his options when his contract is up at the end of the campaign having held talks with Rovers regarding a new deal.
Brighton remain interested having had bids turned down for the 25-year-old last season and the Blues and Fulham are said to have made enquiries.
Marshall's wage demands are claimed to be £25,000 a week in one report which if true would rule Town out of the running.
The Salford-born wideman or right-back was with Manchester United and Crewe as a youth player before moving on to Stoke, Northampton (loan), Cheltenham (loan), Carlisle (loan), Sheffield Wednesday (loan) and then the Foxes before joining Blackburn in 2013.
