More McDonald Interest - Ipswich Town News
Blackpool and Boston United are the latest clubs to show interest in striker Dean McDonald. Both are keen to sign the 19-year-old on loan.
Last week the Blues turned down a £75,000 offer from Hartlepool for the former Arsenal trainee. Boss Joe Royle says that Pools are yet to return with a bigger offer: "We will have to see if Hartlepool want to meet our valuation but they have not come back to us so far.
"We have had other clubs asking about taking Dean on loan but there is no point in that.
"There are clubs interested in Dean but we would only consider them if the price was right and the cash could help us in other areas."
Millwall are reported to have joined Oldham in showing an interest in midfielder Kevin Horlock. The 33-year-old has been told he will not be offered a new contract at the end of the season and can find a new club during the transfer window.
