Sheffield Wednesday wing-back Marvin Johnson is the subject of growing interest from Championship hopefuls Ipswich Town.
Ipswich Town were loosely linked with Johnson, 33, last summer, and now their interest in the Sheffield Wednesday favourite has been reignited.
Johnson has come back into the fold under Danny Rohl. He’s now featured 13 times in the Championship, scoring three and assisting two more, having instantly become a key member of the XI under the new boss.
Reports today have claimed that Ipswich have been in talks to sign Johnson and that they’ve already seen a £1million bid rejected.
The news has become a huge talking point among Sheffield Wednesday fans, but most of them seem to agree that £1million for a 33-year-old, who is likely to be in the final six months of his contract, is a lot of money.
