Town boss Kieran McKenna has confirmed there were two prospective new signings at today’s 4-1 FA Cup victory over Rotherham, Nathan Broadhead in addition to George Hirst.
TWTD reported at half-time that Hirst was watching the match from a box ahead of a proposed loan move from Leicester, but McKenna, speaking in his post-match interview with BBC Radio Suffolk, confirmed another player was also at Portman Road.
That man was forward Broadhead, for whom the Blues have agreed a £1 million fee with Everton following the 24-year-old’s recall from his loan spell at Wigan yesterday.
Asked whether the club’s bid for Broadhead had been accepted, McKenna said: "I can’t confirm anything on bids. There were a couple of players here today who we’re in discussions with but absolutely nothing’s confirmed yet, so until that point it’s up to the clubs to notify you on that.”
McKenna commented further on the situation with Hirst in his press conference with the written press.
