Latte Lath Not Travelling With Boro But Broja More Likely Option For Town - Ipswich Town News

Middlesbrough striker Emmanuel Latte Lath hasn’t travelled with the Teessiders’ squad for tomorrow’s game at Cardiff with the Ivorian hoping to move to the Blues.

According to various reports, Latte Lath hasn’t joined his teammates for the trip to Wales, which earlier he was expected to do, as he’s keen on a move to Town.

As reported this morning, the Blues made an enquiry regarding the 25-year-old, whose head appears to have been turned by the interest.

However, Boro reportedly have no intention of selling the striker, while the Blues’ primary option still appears to be Chelsea’s Armando Broja.


Town boss Kieran McKenna confirmed at his lunchtime that talks with the West Londoners regarding the Albanian international had resumed and we understand still continue.

Yesterday, protracted negotiations over his switch ended due to concerns regarding an achilles injury which emerged during his medical and which is set to keep the 22-year-old sidelined for seven weeks.
