The 5 Championship clubs interested in signing Burton’s Jackson Irvine

According to SBS The World Game, a total of five Sky Bet Championship clubs are interested in signing Burton Albion midfielder Jackson Irvine. The Australian international impressed in his first crack at this level last season, netting ten goals as the Brewers avoided relegation against all the odds.

The 24-year-old Socceroo is currently away with his national side as they crucial a crucial World Cup qualification clash against Saudi Arabia to come. They will also be participating in the Confederations Cup later this month as well. A strong showing by the former Ross County man in this tournament could potentially see even more clubs express an interest.

The fact he has now proven himself in the English second tier does certainly make him an attractive option to focus on. Burton of course will be desperate to keep one of their star men, but accept that financially they may find it hard to turn down some of the bids some of the clubs in question may wish to offer. Therefore, lets focus on them now. Starting with…….

Aston Villa

Steve Bruce is of course looking to boost his squad next season ahead of an intended promotion push at Villa Park. Last season was a difficult one, but he essentially didn’t take charge of the entire campaign. With a pre-season under his belt, he’ll be confident of propelling the club towards the play-off positions at the very least. They are among the early favourites to win promotion next season. The signing of Irvine would further enhance their prospects. Australian international teammate Mile Jedinak also plays for the club, which may be a big pull for Irvine if he has a decision to make.

Another club said to be interested in Irvine is…..

Derby County

They have already flex their muscles with the slightly surprising signing of defender Curtis Davies from Hull City. Surprising in the sense that nobody really saw this coming, much to the delight of Rams fans but disappointment for the Tigers faithful. Like Bruce at Villa, Rowett is heading into his first pre-season at the club and he’ll be aiming for a strong season. Geographically, Derby is very close to Burton, so little things like that may sway Irvine’s decision if it came to it. He’d fit in perfectly to the system they are likely to play. Rowett has only signed Davies since taking charge and he’ll be eager to add more fresh faces.
