No Reading Move for Wright - Ipswich Town News
Reading’s signing of Chelsea full-back Shaun Cummings would appear to rule out Town’s David Wright joining the Royals on loan, as was reported by the Berkshire press yesterday. We understand that contrary to the claims, Wright was never part of any swap deal involving Liam Rosenior.
Wright had been rumoured to be a Royals target since he was left out of the 18 which drew with Preston on Saturday having been in the side which lost in the Carling Cup at Peterborough on Tuesday.
Cummings, who had previously been on loan at West Brom and recently played against the Blues, has been signed as a replacement for Liam Rosenior, whose season-long loan move is still to be confirmed by the Football League.
It is hoped that the move went through prior to yesterday’s 5pm deadline, but if not it’s likely that the former Fulham man will join the Blues when the emergency loan window opens next Tuesday, when he can sign for a maximum of 93 days, and then again in January.
Meanwhile, it's reported that Grant Leadbitter has been handed the Town number six shirt.
