Leeds United and Fulham are in the running to sign David McGoldrick, after bookmakers Bet Victor opened a market on the Ipswich Town striker’s next club on Wednesday.

The pair are 6/1 to secure McGoldrick’s signature before 3rd February, behind Cardiff City [2/1] and Birmingham City [4/1], who were recently linked with moves for the 30-year-old [the Sun].

Both Leeds and Fulham are believed to be in the market for strikers this month, while McGoldrick, who has scored eight goals in 21 outings this season, is out of contract in June.

Despite his impressive haul, however, McGoldrick has only started two of Ipswich’s last six league games since his return from injury, and the Tractor Boys may be open to cashing in with Joe Garner and Martyn Waghorn having equalled and bettered, respectively, the Irishman’s goal tally this season.

McGoldrick, who scored when Ipswich were beaten 3-2 by Leeds last September, has had permanent spells at Notts County, Southampton, Nottingham Forest and Town.

Despite his six Irish caps, the versatile striker hails from Nottingham, and may favour a move closer to home, which could put Leeds or Birmingham in the driving seat.

Would McGoldrick be a good signing for Leeds United / Fulham?
