Kourouma News Monday - Ipswich Town News
Town continue to wait for confirmation that French midfielder Cheick Kourouma’s move to Portman Road has gone through but are confident that they will get positive news from the football authorities regarding the switch on Monday. Meanwhile, manager Paul Jewell has dismissed claims that a loan deal for Peterborough’s George Boyd is already in place.
The red tape relating to the 20-year-old’s former clubs was finally resolved yesterday and he put pen to paper on a one-year deal with the club subsequently completing the additional paperwork.
Jewell says national radio reports this lunchtime that a loan deal is already in place with Peterborough for target George Boyd were incorrect: "We like George Boyd, we think he’s a good player, but there’s nothing in place to take him on loan. It might happen but there’s nothing in place.”
