Keane Targeting Premier Loanee - Ipswich Town News
Town boss Roy Keane says he could add a further loan signing to his squad tomorrow in time for Saturday’s home game with Coventry. The Blues manager has spoken to the player twice, having been given the green light by his Premier League side earlier in the week.
Keane said: "We’re in talks with a club and a player at the moment and we might have news on that tomorrow maybe, fingers crossed.
"We got the thumbs up [from the club] on Monday or Tuesday, I spoke to the player Tuesday and I’ve been in touch with him again today.
"But the player’s got options, then there are agents and finance involved, so it’s the usual scenario, which I understand. We’re hopeful. He’s a good player.”
Keane, who dismissed repeated links with West Brom’s Joe Mattock and says he already has good options at right-back, wouldn’t be drawn too far on the player’s identity: "He can play in defence but he can play in midfield as well. Good players usually can play in a few positions.”
