Blues Linked With Bodvarsson Loan - Ipswich Town News

Town are reported to be showing interest in signing Wolves winger or striker Jon Dadi Bodvarsson on loan.

According to Tim Nash, the former Wolves writer for Express & Star, the 25-year-old Iceland international is set to be offloaded having not travelled to Austria for a pre-season trip with the rest of the squad.

Reports elsewhere say he has merely been given additional time off having rarely had a break during the last couple of years due to his domestic and international commitments.

Bodvarsson started his career with Selfoss in his home country before moving on to Norwegian club Viking, German side Kaiserslautern and then Wolves in the summer of 2016.

Last season 6ft 3in tall Bodvarsson made 24 starts and 24 sub appearances for Wolves, scoring three goals.

Against Town at Molineux last August Bodvarsson, who has been capped 32 times by Iceland, scoring twice, won a penalty which he then took and had saved by Bartosz Bialkowski.

Meanwhile, former Town striker Daryl Murphy is being linked to a return to Sunderland on loan from Newcastle.

Nottingham Forest are also said to be keen to take the Ireland international on loan, while Aston Villa reportedly want to sign the one-time Celtic and Waterford United man on a permanent basis.

Recent links with Norwich City appear to have nothing in them, while TWTD understands Middlesbrough have also registered their interest on taking the 34-year-old on loan.
