Wolves Win Chase for Wallace - Ipswich Town News

Wolves have fought off competition from the Blues and several other Championship clubs to land Portsmouth’s 21-year-old attacking midfielder Jed Wallace.

Wallace has agreed a three-year deal with Wolves, who activated a £275,000 buy-out clause in his Pompey contract, to beat Town, Fulham, Sheffield Wednesday and Charlton for the England U19 international’s signature, according to the Portsmouth News.

TWTD reported that Town were keeping tabs on the promising youngster towards the end of the 2012/13 season.

Meanwhile, Birmingham and Wigan are reported to have joined Fulham in showing interest in Blues midfielder Paul Anderson.

TWTD revealed that the Cottagers were keen on the 26-year-old a month ago with preliminary talks understood to have taken place.

Earlier in the week Anderson was one of five out-of-contract Blues players told no contract is currently on the table at Portman Road, although manager Mick McCarthy wasn’t ruling out offering terms later on in the summer.

Elsewhere, a 17-year-old Norwich City fan will miss Monday’s play-off final after being reported to the police for abusing Blues left-back Tyrone Mings during the first leg of the semi-final by someone watching the game on TV in Bolton.

The supporter from Cromer was reported for "racially abusive" language but having been arrested during the match the fan admitted using abusive but non-racist language towards Mings, who was oblivious to the incident.

The person who made the report declined to make a statement but under a community resolution the fan won’t attend the final against Middlesbrough.
