Bolton Linked With Garner Move - Ipswich Town News

Bolton Wanderers are reported to be eyeing a £500,000 move for Blues striker Joe Garner.

According to The Sun, the Trotters are set to make a bid for the 30-year-old, who joined Town from Rangers last summer for a fee believed to be in the region of £750,000, signing a three-year deal with the club having the usual option for a further season.

The Blues are said to be willing to accept offers for the former Preston man with new manager Paul Hurst keen to put his mark on the squad ahead of the new season. Garner, who was born in Blackburn, is also reported to be interested in a move closer to home, which we understand is the case.

The former England U16, U17 and U19 international, who has also played for Carlisle, Watford and Nottingham Forest, made 29 starts and three sub appearances last season, scoring 10 goals before a small fracture to his skull prematurely ended his campaign in March.

The frontman was back training with the rest of the squad at the start of pre-season on Monday.
