Ipswich Town are reportedly in contention to sign former Manchester United star Alan Smith. The midfielder, who currently plies his trade for Newcastle United, has made only two appearances for the Tyneside outfit this season and was spotted having a look at Ipswich’s training facilities recently.
Smith may consider asking Newcastle boss Alan Pardew to cancel his contract by mutual consent if he is interested in linking up with former team-mate Lee Bowyer at Portman Road.
Smith has failed to net in a league game for the Magpies since his switch from Manchester United in 2007. He has been capped 19 times by England but has been hampered by injuries in the recent past.
