Former Ipswich Town midfielder Paul Anderson is training with League One Scunthorpe United.

The 27-year-old is currently on trial with the side after being released by Ipswich at the end of last season.

Anderson scored for The Tractor Boys in their play-off semi-final to local rivals Norwich City last time out, has attracted interest from Fulham and newly-relegated Wigan Athletic.

He has also been on the radar of Birmingham City and Guy Luzon's Charlton Athletic, who offered him a contract but it was turned down.

But following tweets from the midfielder on social media, it seems Anderson favours the opportunity to train with Scunthorpe, possibly leading to a permanent deal later on this pre-season.

The former Liverpool, Hull City and Nottingham Forest man would be a welcomed additional to Mark Robins' squad as they look to push on from their 16th-placed League One finish last campaign.

A busy summer to date

The Lincolnshire side have so far been very busy in the transfer market this summer with nine arrivals and ten departures circulating through Glanford Park.
