Goldson Move in Doubt After Brighton's Denswil Deal Collapses - Ipswich Town News
Town’s loan move for Brighton centre-half Connor Goldson has been thrown into doubt with Club Brugge defender Stefano Denswil's loan switch to the Seagulls having broken down.
As previously reported, Albion boss Chris Hughton wants to add another centre-back to his squad before allowing Goldson to join the Blues.
Denswil travelled to Sussex last night to - it was thought - complete the formalities on his switch but Club Brugge have now announced that they have pulled the plug on the move due to another player, Benoît Poulain, being unavailable for longer than had previously been anticipated.
Brighton are now likely to look elsewhere for central defensive cover ahead of tonight’s 11pm deadline before they will allow Goldson to complete his move to Portman Road.
The 24-year-old travelled to Town this morning to undergo a medical and to formalise a season-long loan to the Blues.
Town are understood to have alternative targets they may look to if they are unable to get the Goldson deal done before tonight's deadline.
