Wolverhampton Wanderers could sell Jon Dadi Bodvarsson one year into a three-year deal – and Ipswich Town may be his next destination.

Around this time last year, Jon Dadi Bodvarsson had helped Iceland stun England in one of the biggest shocks in European Championship history.

12 months on, however, the rangy forward has been told he has no future at Wolves, according to the Birmingham Mail. Time moves quick in football.

According to the Express and Star, Wolves paid around £1 million to land Bodvarsson on a three-year deal from German second division outfit Kaiserslautern last summer.

But, after scoring a measly three goals in 42 Championship appearances, the 25-year-old has been omitted from the club’s pre-season training camp in Austria.

And the Birmingham Mail report that Bodvarsson has been told he will be allowed to leave Molineux this summer. Although it appears that he may be handed a Championship lifeline.

Because the Green ‘Un reports that Ipswich Town could be his next destination, with manager Mick McCarthy keen for attacking reinforcements as he prepares to operate with a 4-4-2 formation next season.

Only four teams scored fewer goals in the second tier last season than Ipswich, including bottom two Wigan Athletic and Rotherham United. Therefore, attacking reinforcements are clearly a must for a side whose top scorer, nine-goal midfielder Tom Lawrence, returned to Leicester City upon the expiry of his loan spell.

However, Bodvarsson’s goal record in the Black Country will hardly set supporter’s pulses racing.
