Blues Linked With Szmodics - Ipswich Town News
Town have been linked with a January loan move for Bristol City attacking midfielder Sammie Szmodics.
The former Colchester man has been mentioned in connection with the Blues on the TWTD Forum and social media for a number of days but with Town sources having played down the likelihood of interest in the 24-year-old.
Szmodics joined the Robins from the U’s last summer but has made only two starts and two sub appearances.
Huddersfield Town and Hull City have both previously been linked with moves for the Colchester-born schemer and a switch to a Championship club appears more likely if Szmodics were to leave Ashton Gate on a temporary basis.
