Nottingham Forest, Derby County, Middlesbrough and Sheffield United reportedly want Martyn Waghorn of Ipswich Town.

Nottingham Forest, Derby County and Middlesbrough will have to pay at least £8 million if they want to sign Martyn Waghorn from Ipswich Town in the summer transfer window, according to The Mirror (Transfer Live blog, 11:25am, Sunday, July 22, 2018).

It has been reported that Ipswich are asking for £8m to £10m for Waghorn, who is also claimed to be on the radar of Sheffield United.

The Blades have reportedly made a bid of £5m for the former Sunderland and Rangers forward and are claimed to be leading the race for the 28-year-old.

Good signing at £8m-£10m?

Waghorn has been playing well for Rangers and Ipswich over the past three seasons, and the 28-year-old forward would be a good signing for £8m or £10m.

The former England Under-21 international forward scored 44 goals in all competitions in his two years at Rangers in Scotland, as reported by The Ipswich Star, and he found the net 16 times and provided 11 assists in 39 Championship starts for Ipswich last season.

With Forest have signed Lewis Grabban already this summer, a forward of Waghorn’s quality would enhance their chances of finishing in the top two of the Championship next season, while Derby and Middlesbrough could also do with the former Sunderland forward in their respective teams.
