Wolves Eyeing Knudsen Move - Ipswich Town News

TWTD understands Wolves are weighing up a move for Town’s Danish international left-back Jonas Knudsen.

The 24-year-old joined the Blues from his hometown club Esbjerg fB in the summer of 2015 for a fee of around £350,000 and since then has been a regular in the side.

However, Myles Kenlock, 20, began to push him for his place during the second half of last season and the academy product will be looking to establish himself as Mick McCarthy’s first-choice left full-back during the season ahead.

Capped twice at full level by Denmark, Knudsen, who also operated on the left of a back three during 2016/17, has a year left on his contract, with Town having an option to keep him for a further season.

Speaking at the first day of pre-season training on Monday, ahead of the signings of midfielders Emyr Huws and Tom Adeyemi, Blues boss McCarthy said players would have to leave prior to too many more coming in.

"We’re going to have to lose some before we go around signing too many others,” he said.

In May TWTD reported that striker Brett Pitman and midfielder Kevin Bru have been told they can leave if they find themselves new clubs.
