Ipswich Town have been linked with Gillingham’s Tomas Holy.
According to a report in the East Anglian Daily Times, Ipswich Town are set to sign Tomas Holy from fellow League One club Gillingham, with the goalkeeper flying in from his homeland for a medical.
The 6ft 9inch Czech shot-stopper was said to be offered a new one-year deal by Gillingham as his contract expires this summer. However, he has allegedly snubbed their offer in favour of joining Ipswich.
The Tractor Boys have been on the lookout for a new goalkeeper this summer after deciding to release number two Dean Gerkin following their relegation from the Championship.
Ipswich number one Bartosz Bialkowski still has two years to run on his deal at Portman Road. However, it is claimed in another report by EADT that the Pole is keen to leave amid Championship interest.
The situation has left Ipswich boss Paul Lambert needing to sign at least one new goalkeeper this summer, and Holy could be quite a coup having previously attracted interest from the Premier League.
12 months ago, a report in the Mirror cited Arsenal, Everton and Crystal Palace as potential suitors.
Holy has spent the majority of his career at Czech club Sparta Prague but after struggling to nail down a regular spot he opted to leave his homeland to join Gillingham on a two-and-a-half-year deal in January 2017.
At 27, Holy still has the best part of his career ahead of him and he will be looking to help Ipswich bounce back to the Championship at the first attempt next term.
