Town Among Clubs Linked With Wigan Striker Bogle - Ipswich Town News
Town are reported to be one of a number of Championship clubs eyeing transfer-listed Wigan Athletic striker Omar Bogle.
According to Sky Sports, new Latics boss Paul Cook feels the 24-year-old doesn’t fit into his style and has made him available, apparently for £800,000. The Blues, QPR and Barnsley are all said to have expressed an interest.
In January, a few days before his £750,000 deadline day move to Wigan, TWTD reported that Town sent a scout to watch Bogle in action for his former club Grimsby at Stevenage.
Following his move from the Mariners, the Sandwell-born 6ft 3in tall frontman, who has two years left on his Latics contract, grabbed three goals in 12 starts and two sub appearances as Wigan dropped into League One.
The one-time Solihull Moors striker had previously netted 19 times this season for the League Two Mariners, having scored 16 goals as the Lincolnshire club won promotion from the Vanarama National League through the play-offs during the previous season.
A fourth striker remains top of manager Mick McCarthy's wish-list, however, speaking yesterday the Blues boss indicated that he expected that addition to be a loan signing.
