Town boss Kieran McKenna says the Blues’ attempt to sign Como striker Iván Azón on loan has not progressed and he doesn’t anticipate the former Spain U21 international to join the club during the transfer window.
Azón travelled to Suffolk on Thursday to undergo a medical with the terms of a loan switch having been agreed with the Serie A side.
However, McKenna says the move won’t be going through: "The deal hasn’t progressed, so I won’t say anything other than that, really, out of respect to all parties. He’s not a player we expect to join the club in this window.”
The 22-year-old previously expressed a preference for a return home to Valencia but with the La Liga side not having made an acceptable offer to Como.
Last night, it was reported that Town had made a €20 million (£17.2 million) offer to Danish club FC Nordsjælland for 19-year-old Norwegian international forward Sindre Walle Egeli.
"Nothing to answer,” McKenna said when quizzed on the interest. "He’s a player not from our club. Of course, that’s a position that we’ve just sold a really, really good player, so we’re going to be linked with lots of players in that area.
"It’s an area that we want to strengthen, so there will be different links, but hopefully we’ll bring in the right player as soon as possible.”
