IF Kieron Dyer chooses to succumb to the no doubt tempting offers from Manchester United or Chelsea, then his former club Ipswich Town could benefit to the tune of up to £1m, writes Derek Davis.

A price war to land the England midfielder would push any transfer fee up and with a sell-on clause, believed to be around five per cent, would land the Blues with some much-needed extra cash.
There is no guarantee Dyer would be prepared to leave Newcastle United with many people believing Sir Bobby Robson's side have a realistic chance of having a tilt at the title. But ambitious Dyer is known to have fancied a move to the current Premiership champions for some time and having lost out on Ronaldinho to Barcelona, Sir Alex Ferguson is ready to make a move for the 25-year-old.
Dyer joined Newcastle from Ipswich in the summer of 1999 for £6m and he is expected to return to Portman Road next month when England play Croatia.
