Motherwell manager Steven Hammell says there will be news on Blues left-back Matt Penney’s future soon, the 24-year-old having returned to Portman Road at the end of his six-month loan spell with the Steelmen earlier in the week.
Hammell has made no secret that he’s keen to bring Penney back to Fir Park on loan for the remainder of the season but it’s understood there has also been interest from clubs in England.
"I think there will be some stuff to confirm soon on that regarding Matt,” Hammell told HeraldScotland.
"There has been a bit of interest in him, we have been in contact with him. He has been great, I get on fantastic with him, he has been good for us this season.
"I think there will be something out later. If it’s not to be Matty, then we will be looking to do a bit of work and bring someone in to replace if that is the case.”
Speaking yesterday regarding Penney, Blues boss Kieran McKenna said: "He’s been in the training ground the last couple of days, so I’ve had some conversations with him and it’s just reviewing the situation at the moment on what’s going to be the best next steps for him and for the club.”
