Tottenham Set to Make New Wickham Bid? - Ipswich Town News
Tottenham are reportedly set to make Town a new bid of £8 million for striker Connor Wickham. Spurs previously offered the Blues £5 million for the 17-year-old, who as part of the proposed deal would have returned to Portman Road on loan next season.
That bid is now believed to have been turned down, but Harry Redknapp is said to be ready to offer £8 million to test the Blues’ stated intention to keep hold of one of English football’s hottest properties, with Town claimed to have put a £10 million price-tag on the England U17 international.
Last week, chief executive Simon Clegg insisted that Wickham is "an integral part of the squad for next season and going forward”, while the player, who signed a two-year contract in April, said he had "no intention of moving elsewhere”.
