Rams Claimed to Be Winning Jacobs Chase - Ipswich Town News

Derby County are reported to be the frontrunners for Northampton winger Michael Jacobs's signature. As TWTD reported on Monday, the 20-year-old is interesting the Blues, as well as the Rams, Peterborough, Watford, Bristol City and Charlton Athletic.

Jacobs, who impressed in the Cobblers’ 2-1 Carling Cup victory over Town in August, is out of contract in the summer but as he’s under 23 years of age, Northampton will be entitled to compensation.
