Clegg: No Firm Wickham Bids - Ipswich Town News
Town chief executive Simon Clegg says the Blues are yet to receive a firm bid for striker Connor Wickham. The 17-year-old is currently sidelined with an ankle injury but is due back soon after the international break.
Clegg says that although other clubs - Tottenham and Arsenal are reported to be amongst the admirers - have enquired, no formal offer has been received: "There had been a number of discussions but we've not had any firm bids.
"There's a lot of interest in Connor, he's an awesome individual and the strength he's going to come back with in a couple of weeks' time will be fairly impressive.
"We're delighted Connor is here and we look forward to him playing for Ipswich Town for a long time."
Wickham signed a two-year deal with the Blues when he turned 17 in March.
Clegg has spoken at length with the BBC regarding the club's summer dealings here.
