Town Linked With Southampton Winger Isgrove - Ipswich Town News
Town are reported to be keen on Southampton winger Lloyd Isgrove, who the Saints are reportedly willing to allow out on loan.
According to The Sun on Sunday, the 24-year-old could make a temporary move having been unable to break into the first-team at St Mary’s this season.
Town boss Mick McCarthy is said to be interested in bringing the once-capped Wales international to Portman Road before Tuesday's 11pm deadline.
Isgrove’s first appearance for Southampton’s senior side this season came in last night’s 5-0 home FA Cup thumping by Arsenal in which he was replaced after 65 minutes.
Born in Yeovil, Isgrove came through the Saints academy and in total has made four starts and five sub appearances for the Hampshire club, although his only Premier League appearance was as a sub early in the 2014/15 campaign.
The 5ft 8in tall wideman, whose contract is up in the summer, has spent spells on loan at Peterborough, Sheffield Wednesday and Barnsley, who he helped to win promotion via last season’s League One play-off final.
Isgrove, who came on as a sub in Town’s FA Cup tie against Southampton at St Mary’s in January 2015, won the Johnstone’s Paint Trophy both with Posh and the Tykes.
