Naysmith In - Ipswich Town News

Town may be ready to swwop for Hearts star Gary Naysmith after the full-back turned down a new contract with the Edinburgh club. It is thought that Naysmith was one of the two internationals George Burley bid for in the summer, but at that time Hearts manager Jim Jefferies thought that he could persuade last season's Scottish Young Player of the Year to sign a new deal. Now he is willing to listen to offers and Town could be one of the sides at the head of the queue. Jeffries said: "The present financial climate at the club means we cannot meet Gary's requirements. Gary has two years left on his current contract, and we have had talks about the possibility of topping up the deal within a couple of years."

Town would look to spend £2-3 million on the Scottish international if they want to pursue their interest.
