Charlton Make Fraser Approach - Ipswich Town News

Charlton Athletic have made an approach to the Blues for midfielder Scott Fraser.

According to the Daily Record, the Addicks have made a £400,000 offer for the 26-year-old and TWTD can confirm that the South Londoners have contacted the Blues regarding Fraser, although the reported figure is wide of the mark and the interest has been rebuffed.

Swansea, managed by Fraser’s former MK Dons manager Russell Martin, have repeatedly been linked with the Scot during January, however, we understand the Welshmen have made no approach to Town.

Asked about the Swans reports by TWTD at yesterday’s press conference, manager Kieran McKenna said: "The club haven’t come to me with anything concrete on that one, to be honest.

"Those calls are directed towards the club but they haven’t come to me with anything concrete on that, so as far as I’m concerned he’s part of the planning.

"He’s obviously not been able to get on the pitch in my time here so far, but it’s only been maybe five weeks or so.

"He’s had a little injury in that time, obviously we had two games called off due to Covid. I know all about Scott’s qualities, watched lots of him for Burton and for MK, so he’s certainly a player who has quality and impact at this level and is a player who can contribute for us when he gets the opportunity.”

Fraser has made 18 starts and two sub appearances, scoring once, since signing from the Dons in the summer.

While the former Dundee United, Airdrieonians and Burton Albion schemer is yet to feature under McKenna, he was on the bench for his opening game at home to Wycombe Wanderers.
