Blues Among Clubs Linked With Dundee United Striker Shankland - Ipswich Town News
Town are among a number of clubs being linked with Dundee United striker Lawrence Shankland.
According to the Daily Mail, Belgian side Beerschot have offered £500,000 for the 25-year-old but with the Blues in competition.
The MK Dons are also said to have shown interest, while Championship sides are also keen.
Glasgow-born Shankland, who is contracted to the Terrors for another year, is said to find the idea of playing abroad appealing.
The three-times-capped Scotland international started his career with Queen’s Park before moving on to Aberdeen, during which time he spent spells on loan at Dunfermline, St Mirren and Greenock Morton.
He joined Ayr United in 2017 before signing for Dundee United in the summer of 2019.
Since moving to Tannadice Shankland has scored 40 goals - including three already this season - in 70 starts and four sub appearances.
Having added Joe Pigott and Macauley Bonne to the squad alongside James Norwood this summer, and with Kayden Jackson seemingly back in the fold, it would be a surprise if Town moved for another central striker.
