Bowyer Set to Sign Next Week
Former Birmingham midfielder Lee Bowyer looks set to complete his move to Portman Road next week. Talks with the one-time England international’s representatives have continued over the last few days with news of the Blues’ interest in the former Leeds, West Ham and Charlton man having broken over the weekend.
Earlier today, David Lee, an agent working for Skillequal, the company who represent Bowyer, appeared to hint that the 34-year-old was close to completing his switch to the Blues when he tweeted: "ITFC have a very interesting player signing soon!”
He later added: "Just to let the Ipswich fans asking I can't say who the player is but [the] deal should be done next week!”
Free agent Bowyer is currently understood to be on holiday abroad and could sign on the dotted line on his return, in time to be involved in next week’s two-game pre-season tour of Holland. TWTD understands that the Blues could also sign another player in time to make the trip across the North Sea.
Despite some fans reacting angrily to the news of Town’s move for the controversial Londoner, a TWTD poll currently sees71% of fans backing his addition.
