Town Face Competition For Pilkington From Latics - Ipswich Town News
Town are facing competition for Cardiff City winger Anthony Pilkington from another Championship club TWTD understands to be Wigan Athletic.
Talks regarding the 30-year-old's switch to the Blues remain ongoing, Pilkington having previously played for Town boss Paul Lambert at Norwich City.
However, the Republic of Ireland international hails from Blackburn and it may be that a move back to the North West closer to his family appeals as he makes his decision on his future.
The Latics and local rivals Rovers were both linked with Pilkington at the end of last week.
Pilkington is out of favour at Cardiff, having not featured at any stage for the Premier League side this season.
The Blues are hoping to take on the remaining months of his Cardiff contract, which is up in the summer, in much the same way as they did with the signings of Mustapha Carayol and Stephen Gleeson last January.
