Ipswich seek free transfer for Blackburn striker Roberts

Blackburn Rovers striker Jason Roberts is a target for Ipswich Town.

The Daily Mail says Ipswich boss Paul Jewell wants experienced Blackburn striker Roberts to spearhead his team's promotion challenge next season.

Grenadian international Roberts, 33, will be out of contract at Ewood Park next month and will be offered the chance to team up with Jewell for a second time.

Jewell was in charge of Wigan when he paid £1.4million to sign Roberts from West Bromwich Albion in January 2004 and his goals helped to fire the Latics into the Premier League the following year.
