Grande Impressed - Ipswich Town News

Canadian international trialist Sandro Grande says he is impressed by the Blues after just one day at the club. The former Brescia man is on a ten-day trial at Portman Road.

Grande told the club site that a number of fellow Canadians have recommended Town to him: "Frank Yallop is my manager for Canada and he said that I should try out Ipswich because they are a great club.

"Jason told me the same thing so here I am and I will stay here for a week or so and see how it goes.
"I have only been here one day but you can see the quality here.

"There are some excellent footballers at Ipswich and they have also been very friendly to me and made me welcome.

"The facilities here are fantastic and, hopefully, I can spend the next week or so impressing the manager and see how things develop from there."
