Town are reportedly keen on former striker Jordan Rhodes, who is out of contract at Sheffield Wednesday this summer, with another of his previous clubs Huddersfield also linked.

According to Football League World, the Terriers lead the chase for the the 31-year-old but with the Blues set to offer Rhodes the chance to return to Portman Road.

Rhodes has scored seven times for the relegation-haunted Owls this season having had a frustrating time at Hillsborough having joined them from Middlesbrough for £10 million in the summer of 2017 following a loan spell. Due to a lack of opportunities with Wednesday he spent 2018/19 on loan at Norwich City.

Former Kesgrave High School pupil Rhodes, who joined the Blues as a 15-year-old from Barnsley for £5,000 after his father Andy became keeper-coach at Portman Road, was controversially sold by Roy Keane in the summer of 2009 having made only 10 sub appearances, scoring one goal.

After top-ups and 10 per cent of the sell-on when Rhodes moved from Huddersfield, with whom he had enjoyed a hugely successful spell, to Blackburn for £8 million in August 2012, the fee Town eventually received moved close to £1.5 million.

Town boss Paul Cook plans a major revamp of the Blues in the summer and with the new owners’ cash behind him is expected to look at players who have shown they are capable of playing in the Championship as he rebuilds the squad.

Whether the likes of Rhodes - if there is anything in the claims of interest - or other players in that mould will be willing to step down to League One remains to be seen.

He's rubbish, missed a really good opportunity against us last week with the score at 2-1. League 1 level at best.

Who are "us"?
Bristol City?
Bannan missed a penalty against the Robins just over a week ago.
 
Rhodes headed a guilt edged opportunity in to the hands of Archer like he was defender cushioning a header back to the keeper.

I see.
The point was that Rhodes is linked with a return to Ipswich Town - where he started.
Division 3.

Rhodes scored a beauty at Bolton for us:
 
I'm sure he'll do well at that level. HE had a couple of good seasons for Blackburn at this level, and was honest and gave his best for us, but he wasn't much cop. Probably get 15+ for Ipswich in League One though, would be a great signing for them

If he'd been an unknown loanee from a foreign land he'd have been written into Boro folklore forever for his crucial 6 goals that helped us over the finish line (including those two famous strikes at Bolton). Appreciate that he was an expensive signing though and it's not the same.

His work rate away to Burnley was insane. Should’ve been brought off sooner, ran himself in to the ground that night. Still gutted they equalised so late on.
 
I think it's harsh to say he wasn't much cop for us,he scored some massively important goals for us which were integral to us getting promoted.
He certainly wouldn't be someone we should be looking at now but he did well enough in his time here.
