Town Made Hoskins Bid? - Ipswich Town News

Town are reported to be one of the three clubs to have made a bid for Rotherham frontman Will Hoskins. A national newspaper claims that the Blues have had a £300,000 offer for the 20-year-old striker rebuffed by the League One side.

Yesterday, Rotherham chairman Denis Coleman said his club had already received three bids for their prize asset.

Hoskins is out of contract at the end of the season has has turned down the offer of a new contract at Millmoor.

Meanwhile, we understand that Town have turned down Yeovil's request to keep midfielder Martin Brittain for a third month. The winger is likely to return to Portman Road this week and could be involved in Saturday's third round FA Cup tie at Chester City.

Brighton are weighing-up whether to extend Dean Bowditch's stay at the Withdean Stadium. The striker is out of action for at least another three weeks with a groin problem which may ultimately require surgery.

The Seagulls could decide to extend the 20-year-old's loan spell, make a bid to sign him permanently or send him back to Portman Road. Injury has restricted the former England U19 international to one start and three sub appearances since moving to Sussex in October.

Crystal Palace manager Peter Taylor says he is waiting to speak to Jim Magilton regarding Jon Macken's future. The striker's loan spell with the Blues came to an end after Monday's game with Birmingham.

Midfielder Gary Roberts has completed the formalities of his permanent transfer from Accrington Stanley, having signed a contract until 2010 last week.

The Blues are understood to have paid the League Two side £200,000 on top of the £50,000 loan fee which secured the winger's services between October and January.
