Paul Lambert addresses Fulham and QPR interest in Ipswich Town starlets

Speaking to TWTD, Ipswich Town manager Paul Lambert has said that they are under no pressure to sell their prized assets after reports emerged claiming Fulham and Queens Park Rangers were interested in midfielder Flynn Downes and defender Luke Woolfenden respectively.

We covered reports here on The72 claiming that Championship pair Fulham and Queens Park Rangers were both taking an interest in two fo Ipswich Town’s young stars, with the Cottagers said to be watching over midfielder Flynn Downes and the R’s were interested in defender Luke Woolfenden.

The two have both been in fine form for the Tractor Boys so far this season, playing important roles as they look to return to the Championship at the first time of asking. Now, manager Paul Lambert has spoken about the reported interest in the pair.

Speaking to TWTD, Lambert said that the club are under no pressure to cash in on their prized assets, adding that it would take very significant money for them to allow Downes and Woolfenden to leave the club.

“I’ve not seen that, you telling me is the first time I’ve seen it. Would it surprise me? No. It wouldn’t surprise me because of how well they are playing.

“Money talks. In the modern-day game, it talks. If it’s a hell of an amount of millions then sometimes you can’t do anything about it. That’s the reality of the game. The money doesn’t really matter, if somebody goes in with £20 or £30 million or whatever then you can’t stop it, it’s too big. But those lads are playing really well and for somebody to take them out then it would have to be a few million, that’s for sure.”

Lambert went on to add that there is no need for the young stars to be sold unless a very significant offer came in, saying: “No, not at all. Not unless there’s £30 or £40 million coming in your door, then it changes the goalposts.”
