Leicester City player closes in on January transfer

Leicester City striker George Hirst is currently on loan at Championship club Blackburn Rovers.

The player could now reportedly head to League One side Ipswich Town for regular football until the end of the season.

The 23-year-old joined Blackburn at the start of the season so he could play regularly, but has only started twice since joining the Championship side. Leicester are now apparently looking to unloan him and send him to Ipswich.

The striker apparently watched from the directors box as Ipswich Town took on Rotherham United in the FA Cup on Saturday afternoon.

The striker is highly rated by Ipswich manager Kieran McKenna and it will be interesting to see if he is willing to give the youngster regular playing time so he can regain his confidence and sharpness.

The 23-year-old needs to play regularly to continue his development and reach his potential. He hopes to impress at Ipswich in the second half of the season and return to Leicester as a better player in the summer.
