Championship new boys Ipswich are rivalling Bristol City for Ireland midfielder Jason Knight.
City have made two offers for Derby County’s Knight, the highest being £1.5m, turned down.
The Robins are considering another improved approach, meanwhile Kieran McKenna’s Ipswich are now among the clubs also monitoring the situation and pondering a move of their own.
Knight is a wanted man with Stoke another club who have looked at the 22 year-old.
Knight is primarily a midfielder but versatile and was man of the match in Ireland’s 3-0 Euro 2024 qualifier against Gibraltar on Monday playing at right back.

Kieran McKenna is eager to sign Knight following Ipswich’s promotion to the Championship
He was a Derby regular during the season and his contract now ends next summer after the Rams activated an option to extend it.
But Derby missed out on the League One play-offs and a potential promotion back to the Championship by just a point, with Ipswich going up as third tier runners-up.
And Derby’s failure to go up could leave them forced to cash in on prized assets such as Knight who they value at around £2m.
