Finnan could be Town target

EX-Fulham and Liverpool stalwart, Steve Finnan, could be the answer to Ipswich Town’s defensive problems

But manager Roy Keane will also probably be in the market for a new centre-half, following Damien Delaney’s recent long-term injury and fellow defender Alex Bruce’s likely departure from Portman Road this summer.

The transfer-listed Bruce has been linked with a switch to Championship rivals Sheffield United.

The experienced Finnan, 34, is a free agent following his release from relegated Premier League club Portsmouth, which means that fellow Irishman Keane would be able to recruit him on a free transfer.
