Former Blues keeper Vaclav Hladky is reported to have been offered a two-year deal by Championship Burnley, but is tipped to join Jablonec in Czechia.

Hladky, 33, left Town at the start of the month having been unable to agree terms on a new deal.

According to iSport.cz, the Clarets made Hladky a two-year contract on better terms than were on offer at Portman Road.

However, they report it’s likely he could instead end up at Czech top-flight side Jablonec, despite the deal there being worth less than the Turf Moor terms.

Burnley are in need of a new keeper with Arijanet Muric close to joining the Blues in a deal worth £8 million plus £2 million in top-ups.

Hladky is understood to have turned down the chance to join Banik Ostrava, while Slavia Prague have also been linked.

Elsewhere, Town are among a number of clubs linked with a potential season-loan loan move for Venezia midfielder Tanner Tessmann should the US international join Inter Milan, as is expected to be the case.

The 22-year-old is also claimed to have loan interest from Feyenoord.

Meanwhile, ex-Town striker Joe Pigott, 30, has returned to AFC Wimbledon, his club prior to his spell with the Blues, on a season-long loan from Leyton Orient.

Taricco_Fan added 21:29 - Jul 15 I can totally understand the he and/or his family would wish to return home but FK Jablonec seems like a strange move. There's little money in the Czech league and Jablonec are a small team in the top flight (stadium: 6000). I can't believe they are able to offer anything like what Burnley/Ipswich put on the table. Best of luck to him wherever he ends up.

Linkboy13 added 11:09 - Jul 16 Apparently the signing of Smzodic's is not likely to happen according to sources close to the club. Why pay 6million pounds for someone to sit on the bench we need Premier league quality he's a very good championship player but not Premier league if he was early twenties i would take a risk on it.

tempzzzz added 12:38 - Jul 16 No way are we paying that sort of money for Szmodics. Well overvalued by Blackburn. Imagine paying £22m for Omari and then paying £20m for Szmodics!
