Ipswich Town have been linked with signing West Ham United defender Ben Johnson, who is set to leave the club at the end of the season when his contract expires.
Johnson has been the subject of top-level Championship interest since January. Leeds United were initially linked with him, as the interest was reported by the Daily Mail.
A recent edition of the Daily Mirror (21/4 paper edition; page 74) has said that Ipswich have joined Leeds, and Southampton, in the race to sign the soon-to-be out of contract defender.
Carlton Palmer has told Football League World that he doesn’t see the 24-year-old moving to a second tier club, and that making the switch to the Tractor Boys would be a good one, if they get promoted.
