Liverpool’s director of football strategy Damien Comolli was at Portman Road yesterday to run the rule over Town striker Connor Wickham. Liverpool have long been linked with the 17-year-old, although Spurs, who were also represented at the 1-1 draw with Hull, are understood to be the frontrunners for the youngster's signature.
Tottenham’s academy manager John McDermott and their assistant technical co-ordinator Chris Ramsey watched the match along with former Town coach Charlie Woods, who also now works at White Hart Lane.
Meanwhile, one of this morning’s papers reports that Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United are also continuing to keep tabs on the England U21 international.
Elsewhere, Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has praised the quality of players coming through in the Championship: "It looks more and more that there are many good young players coming out of these clubs too.
"Look at Nottingham Forest for example — they are all good young players. Derby too, and Ipswich, who we played recently, have Âproduced Connor Wickham. So there are good young Âplayers down there.
"Maybe the academy rules help them too, because teams cannot take young players from other clubs’ areas.”
