Jackett: No Offers for Stearman - Ipswich Town News
New Wolves boss Kenny Jackett says he is yet to receive any bids for ex-Town loan defender Richard Stearman. Speaking yesterday, Blues manager Mick McCarthy didn’t rule out the 25-year-old, who has a year left on his Molineux contract, returning to Portman Road this summer.
Jackett says he is yet to talk to the right-back or centre-half about his situation: "I have a completely open mind on Stearman.
"I haven’t spoken to him but he’s under contract. I don’t think there have been any bids for him.”
Meanwhile, Irish sources are linking the Blues with Stephen Ward, one of the four players Jackett made available for transfer yesterday as Wolves look to cut their budget after their relegation to League One.
While it was McCarthy who brought the 27-year-old Irish international to Molineux, Town seem unlikely to target a left-back unless Aaron Cresswell moves on. Speaking yesterday, McCarthy said he had received no interest in any of his squad.
