Iriekpen joined the club on a free transfer under Brian Flynn in September 2003 and soon became a regular first choice in the centre of defence. Izzy has been the preferred partner to influential defender Garry Monk in the centre of defence this year and it is thought that his performances, particularly the live Sky FA Cup match against Reading, has caught the attention of numerous Championship managers.
Wales On Sunday claim that this news is more than just a mere rumour and with Izzy free to discuss terms with whoever he chooses, Iriekpen's future is now out of the club's hands.
