Ipswich Town forward Connor Wickham on verge of becoming a Premier League player
Championship side Ipswich Town have hinted at selling their leading forward Connor Wickham to one of the leading Premier League sides.
The news came after the talented striker was reportedly linked with Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur. His manager http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Paul-c29347 Jewell has revealed that he does not want to sell his ace but might consider an offer to sell the 17-year-old to one of the leading
Premier League clubs only if the price tag justifies Wickham’s talent.
The teenager is already a part of England’s Under-21 squad and has managed over 50 appearances for the Tractor Boys. He has also scored 9 goals so far in his career with Ipswich.
This performance from the teenage sensation has prompted other clubs like http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429 to get in the race of signing the striker.
The youngster on the other hand seems flattened at the amount of interest that he has been able to generate from the top clubs and would certainly be moving to any one of them soon.
Jewell further added that every player, whether playing in a big club or not, has some value and Wickham certainly is the one who draws a lot of value.
“Every player has a price. You ask Manchester United - http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ronaldo-c31734 went,” Jewell said.
The manager admitted the fact that he has not received any bids for the youngster since he took over as the club manager but even if he gets one, he will have to think twice before deciding upon the striker’s future.
“I haven't had the opportunity to sell him because since I've been here, no-one's enquired about him, certainly not that I know of anyway,” Jewell added.
The English striker has been under the scanner of many top clubs and it is expected that the teenager will make a move up from the Championship into the Premier League come the 2011 summer transfers.
