Town Targeting Brentford Winger Judge - Ipswich Town News
Town are targeting Brentford’s Republic of Ireland winger Alan Judge.
The Sun reported earlier this morning that the Blues are showing strong interest in the 30-year-old and TWTD understands there is substance to the story but with the potential move in its early stages.
Judge, who could be available at a cut-price fee with his Bees contract up in the summer, suffered a broken leg at Portman Road in April 2016, an injury which kept him out of first-team action until January 2018.
This season, the former Blackburn, Plymouth (loan) and Notts County man has made seven starts and 17 sub appearances for the Bees, scoring twice.
Dubliner Judge previously came close to joining the Blues from the Magpies in the summer of 2013, however, he instead returned to Blackburn, where he had previously been a youth player, for a second spell.
Town have already brought in four players since the January transfer window opened with James Collins set to become the fifth with the free agent 35-year-old central defender’s signing set to be announced later today.
