Cambridge Eyeing Bishop - Ipswich Town News
TWTD understands Blues midfielder Teddy Bishop is being targeted by his hometown club Cambridge United.
The 24-year-old is contracted to Town for another season, his appearances during 2020/21 having triggered a one-year option, but along with most of the rest of the squad has been told he can find another club this summer.
And we understand the U’s are keen to bring him to the Abbey Stadium having won promotion to League One after finishing second in League Two.
Earlier this week, Bishop, who in his early days with the Blues was linked with Premier League clubs, posted personal highlights videos on social media and may well be hoping for interest from a higher division having made his breakthrough as an 18-year-old in Town’s 2014/15 Championship play-off season.
The academy product made 29 starts and eight sub appearances in 2020/21, scoring four times, the most he has played since the play-off season with injury having hampered the intervening campaigns.
Meanwhile, former Town midfielder or defender Paul Digby, 26, is set to leave Cambridge having reportedly turned down a new deal with the U's. Charlton, Sunderland and Oxford United are said to be showing interest.

Stoke City 3-3 Ipswich Town - Match ReportTown suffered last-gasp penalty heartbreak of a different variety as Stoke City netted a 96th-minute penalty to claim a 3-3 draw from a topsy-turvy game at the bet365 Stadium. Goals from Milan Smit and Bae Junho in a disastrous final 10-minute spell at the end of the first half gave the Potters a 2-0 half-time lead but an own goal by Eric Bocat and strikes from Jack Taylor and George Hirst looked to have won it until the home side were harshly awarded a penalty after Cedric Kipre and Jens Cajuste tangled with Lamine Cisse in the box and Smit bagged his second of the game from the spot.
