Matt On Speculation - Ipswich Town News

Town skipper Matt Holland says he is aware of no serious interest in him from any Premiership club. The Town skipper has recently been watched by Charlton amongst others but Holland says that ideally he will help Town back to the Premiership ahead of next season.

Holland told the club site: "I have heard of no real interest, only the speculation stories in the papers that you are bound to get in our situation.

"Obviously I am aware of the financial problems that the Club faces and the fact that we are in a position where selling players is possible.

"But as far as I'm concerned hopefully we will be able to keep all the players here and have a real go at getting back in the Premiership this season.

"We have given ourselves a chance now of getting in the play-offs and all I am focused on is that target.

"My ideal scenario is to be playing Premiership football again next season with Ipswich Town."

If Holland were to leave Town his former club AFC Bournemouth would be entitled to 25% of anything above the £800,000 Town paid the Cherries in 1997.
