Blues Linked With Renewed Tilt Interest - Ipswich Town News

Town are reported to have renewed their interest in Blackpool centre-half Curtis Tilt.

The Blues chased the 27-year-old throughout the transfer window making a number of bids, the highest reaching £800,000, before giving up the chase and turning their attention to AFC Wimbledon’s Deji Oshilaja on deadline day, however, they were unable to agree a deal with the Dons.

Now, according to The Sun’s Alan Nixon, Town have gone back for Tilt, who is understood to have handed in a transfer request at Bloomfield Road.

While the transfer window has closed, clubs are able to take players on loan until the end of the month with a view to those deals becoming permanent switches in January.

Tilt played in non-league for Halesowen Town, Hednesford Town, AFC Telford Town, Wrexham and Forest Green Rovers (loan) before joining Blackpool last summer.

He made 45 starts for the League One side in 2017/18, his first EFL campaign, scoring once and picking up three Seasiders’ player of the season gongs.

Tilt's only appearance for Blackpool so far this season was in the Carabao Cup tie against Barnsley on Tuesday.

Rangers, Reading, QPR and Portsmouth were all also been linked with Tilt during the summer.
