No Town Interest in Boyce - Ipswich Town News
TWTD understands claims that Town are showing interest in Hearts striker Liam Boyce are wide of the mark.
The Scottish Sun is reporting that the Blues are rivalling Aberdeen for the 31-year-old Northern Ireland international, however, we understand that’s not the case.
Town have already added Freddie Ladapo to their striking ranks this summer with another number nine almost certainly on their wishlist.
As reported in May, Leicester’s George Hirst is among those on the Blues’ list of potential recruits but with Portsmouth keen for the 23-year-old to return to Fratton Park for a second season.
"We’d love to have George back,”manager Danny Cowley told the Portsmouth News. "We’re really respectful of Leicester and know he goes back and will train there in pre-season.
"They will rightly get a good look at him and hopefully see the progress he made. I know that they are pleased with the way we looked after him and the work we did with him, so that gives us satisfaction clubs know their players will be looked after here.
"We’d love to have him back but ultimately that will be a decision made firstly by Leicester City and then George and his representatives.”
