Town Step Up Bodvarsson Interest as Pitman Closes in on Pompey Move
Thursday, 13th Jul 2017 12:50

Brett Pitman’s impending exit to Portsmouth, as revealed by TWTD earlier today, will see the Blues bring in another striker and we understand Wolves’ Icelandic international frontman or wide player Jon Dadi Bodvarsson is currently top of their list of targets.

Bodvarsson was first linked by Midlands sources on Tuesday and we understand Town have intensified their interest as Pitman’s departure on a free transfer moves closer to being confirmed.

The Jersey-born striker is believed to have travelled to Fratton Park today for talks regarding personal terms and to undergo a medical, the clubs having agreed their side of the switch.

We understand discussions between Town and Wolves regarding Bodvarsson are ongoing with a permanent move and a season-long loan both still on the table.

The 25-year-old, who has two years left on his contract, is believed to be surplus to requirements at Molineux and has not travelled with the rest of the squad for their pre-season camp in Austria having been given an extended summer break.

Bodvarsson started his career with Selfoss in his home country before moving on to Norwegian club Viking, German side Kaiserslautern and then Wolves for £1 million in the summer of 2016.

Last season 6ft 3in tall Bodvarsson made 24 starts and 24 sub appearances for Wolves, scoring three goals.

Against Town at Molineux last August Bodvarsson, who has been capped 32 times by Iceland, scoring twice, won a penalty which he then took and had saved by Bartosz Bialkowski.

Links with Doncaster striker John Marquis are understood to be no more than social media rumour.

Stick my neck out. We don't go down. Mid table.

Bookies don't lie but sometimes an outsider slays all in it's wake.

Everyone keeps banging on about replacing Murphy. He had one fantastic season and a couple of mediocre ones. His best ratio was for Newcastle. 6 goals in 17 games, probably because he had some decent players around him. Maybe the key to our lack of goals is to have a more creative midfield and actually play some football. We need to get away from the smash it up to the big man mentality. We played neat attractive pass and move football under John Lyall and George Burley with strikers like Kiwomya, Dozzell, Marcus Stewart, Alex Mathie.
