Town Among Clubs Linked With McBurnie - Ipswich Town News
Town are reported to be among a number of Championship clubs showing interest in free agent Scotland international striker Oli McBurnie.
McBurnie, 29, was with Las Palmas in Spain in 2024/25 having signed a three-year deal last July, but is a free agent following their relegation from La Liga.
He left Sheffield United last summer on a free transfer, having joined the Blades from Swansea for a fee which eventually totalled around £20 million in July 2019.
According to The Sun’s Alan Nixon on his Patreon page, the Blues are leading the chase for McBurnie ahead of the Blades, the Swans and Hull City.
However, we understand that is overstating the position as it stands with McBurnie on the Blues’ long list of potential recruits but with no approach made.
According to the Sheffield Star, talks have taken place regarding a return to Bramall Lane.
While the Blues are on the lookout for another striker, probably two, before the window closes, it would be a surprise if they moved for McBurnie.
Elsewhere, former Town defender James Wilson, 36, has rejoined Cheltenham, where he previously had a loan spell in 2013/14, on a one-year deal having left Bristol Rovers at the end of last season.
