Healy Linked Again - Ipswich Town News
Boss Jim Magilton is reported to be making a final bid to lure Northern Ireland striker David Healy from Fulham on loan before Thursday's deadline. The Cottagers have previously been unwilling to allow the 28-year-old to join the Blues.
Magilton is also claimed to be eyeing Newcastle United frontman Shola Ameobi. Reports on a Magpies website over the weekend claimed the Blues and Norwich City are interested in signing the England U21 international. Ameobi is back in Newcastle's reserves after a spell out injured.
Meanwhile, Spanish full-back Sito, who scored Town's second goal at Scunthorpe on Saturday, has denied that he models himself on Liverpool's Fernando Torres: "I'm not like him - he's like me!
"It was a very good goal. The chance fell to me and I just wanted to put the ball in the back of the net.
"It was fantastic for me but also for the team, as it gave us a bit of breathing space.
"It's nice to get my first goal but I haven't felt any pressure because my main job is to defend. Any goals that come along are a bonus."
