Town manager Joe Royle is confident that out-of-contract three Richard Naylor, Fabian Wilnis and Jim Magilton will sign the new one-year deals they have been offered.

The Blues' boss has already spoken to Magilton and Wilnis about their new contracts and will have a chat with Naylor next week after he returns from a short break in Majorca.

We understand that Magilton has attracted interest from Wigan, Tranmere and another club but Royle expects his playmaker to remain at Portman Road: "From talking to him and Fabian the impression I get is that they both want to stay. They have both been terrific for me and I hope we can sort something out.

"Fabian's agent has been in touch to say he wants to come to Ipswich and see me to discuss a few points.

"Richard and I have missed each other, but I will be speaking to him as soon as I can to make him an offer."

Naylor has previously indicated he wants to stay with Town despite all three being offered deals worth a lot less than their previous contracts.
