When the player’s stance becomes clear, Ipswich Town’s pursuit of Blackburn Rovers gains momentum.

Ipswich Town is interested in acquiring Blackburn Rovers striker Sam Gallagher, and a new development has surfaced.

Journalist Alan Nixon claims that Ipswich Town is extending a three-year contract to Blackburn Rovers striker Sam Gallagher in an attempt to persuade him to join the team.

Journalist Pete O’Rourke claimed on Thursday that the Tractor Boys had another offer turned down. It was previously disclosed this month that the Tractor Boys had two bids worth £1 million and £1.5 million rejected for Gallagher.

Nixon claims that Ipswich is willing to offer the 28-year-old a large contract in order to move the deal along, suggesting that the team is not ready to give up on Gallagher.

With only a few days left in the transfer window, Blackburn is hesitant to let go of Gallagher this month, even though the Tractor Boys are “close to reaching £2 million.” This will leave Rovers with little time to find a replacement.

Although Blackburn has the option to extend Gallagher’s contract for an additional year, it expires in the summer, and he is reportedly eager to move to Portman Road.

Gallagher is not just being eyed by Ipswich this month; Birmingham City is rumored to have initiated negotiations regarding a possible deal for the striker. Gallagher would reunite with former Rovers manager Tony Mowbray if he moved to St Andrew’s.

In his eight appearances for Blackburn this season, Gallagher has contributed one assist and two goals. He has just returned from a nearly four-month absence due to a calf injury.

Search for an Ipswich Town striker
Due to a hamstring injury that kept George Hirst out of action until late in the season, Ipswich is currently shorthanded in the forward positions. Dane Scarlett has been called back by Tottenham Hotspur, and Freddie Ladapo has signed a loan with Charlton Athletic.

The Tractor Boys are eager to sign a striker this month, and Hirst’s injury will make it easier for the team to find a new number nine, according to manager Kieran McKenna.

“George is scheduled to see a surgeon this week to have his hamstring rupture repaired. McKenna informed the East Anglian Daily Times that he wouldn’t be eligible until the very, very end of the season.

Prior to George’s injury, we intended to add a goal scorer during the January transfer window. His absence for a significant portion of the season now heightens the significance of that.”

Jay Stansfield of Fulham was the subject of an enquiry from Ipswich, but it has now been confirmed that he will spend the remainder of the season on loan at Birmingham.

The Tractor Boys have reportedly made an offer in excess of £1 million for AFC Wimbledon’s Ali Al-Hamadi. They have also been connected to Mileta Rajovic of Watford and Kieffer Moore of Bournemouth.

One point ahead of Southampton in third place in the Championship table, Ipswich is presently in second place.
