Blues Linked With Dutch Defender Oosterwolde - Ipswich Town News
Turkish reports are linking Town with Dutch left-back Jayden Oosterwolde, who is currently with Fenerbahce.
According to Sports Digitale, the Blues, West Ham United, Nottingham Forest, Brentford and Napoli are all keen on the 23-year-old. The Hammers have previously been linked with a fee of €20 million (£17 million) mentioned, while claims AFC Bournemouth have lodged a €30 million (£25.4 million) bid have been dismissed.
Zwolle-born Oosterwolde, who also plays at centre-half, started his senior career with FC Twente before moving on to Parma in Italy, initially on loan.
The 6ft 2in tall defender joined his current club in Türkiye, who are managed by Jose Mourinho, in January 2023, for €6 million (£5.1 million), signing a four-and-a-half-year deal.
Fenerbahce are said to be keen to hold onto Oosterwolde but would be willing to do a deal at the right price.
Town are almost certainly in the market for a left-back this summer with Leif Davis currently the only left-sided full-back at the club.
