Chelsea favourites for Ipswich striker Wickham
Chelsea are favourites to land Ipswich Town teenage striker Conor Wickham.
The Sunday Mirror says the 16-year-old, 6ft 3in striker became the youngest player ever to appear for the Championship club last season – and he’s attracted attention from all the top clubs in the Premier League.
Scouts from Arsenal, Tottenham, Manchester United, Liverpool and Aston Villa as well as Chelsea were at Ipswich’s league game with Sheffield Wednesday at Portman Road yesterday.
