Stevenson's Motherwell Move Breaks Down With Former Club Hearts Interested - Ipswich Town News
Exiting Blues midfielder Ryan Stevenson is set for a deadline day return to Scotland but not to Motherwell, the club with whom he held talks earlier in the week. Stevenson's former side Hearts are interested in re-signing the 28-year-old and have offered a better deal than their SPL compatriots.
Jambos boss John McGlynn confirmed that his club is looking to seal a deal: "There is an interest so we're hopeful we can do something with Ryan."
A return to Tynecastle would be a surprise with Stevenson having been on strike during the latter stages of his previous spell after the club failed to pay his wages.
Speaking after Motherwell's 1-0 (3-0 on aggregate) Europa Cup defeat to Levante in Spain, their manager Stuart McCall said he didn't think he would be adding Stevenson to his squad: "I've not got any positive vibes at all today. I've been concentrating on the game but I genuinely doubt it."
The Blues have agreed to end Stevenson's contract by mutual consent in order to make it easier for him to return home to Scotland with his wife understood not to have settled in Suffolk after the one-time Ayr and St Johnstone man's £50,000 move from Hearts in January.
