Downes Linked With Bournemouth - Ipswich Town News
AFC Bournemouth have been linked with a move for Blues midfielder Flynn Downes.
According to the EADT, the Dorset club are leading contenders for the 22-year-old, who is currently training with the U23s and is known to want to move on.
Earlier in the summer, Downes was mentioned in connection with Peterborough and Barnsley.
The former England U19 international was the subject of two bids from Crystal Palace last summer, the highest £1.6 million, and the Brentwood-born schemer subsequently handed in a transfer request.
However, after a disappointing 2020/21 and with the market less than buoyant during this close season, it would be a big surprise if Town achieved a fee at that level.
Downes is contracted to the Blues until the summer of 2022 with the club having an option for a further season.
