Ipswich boss Jewell says Arsenal, Spurs target Wickham can go all the way

Ipswich Town boss Paul Jewell believes Connor Wickham is destined for greatness.

Tottenham and Arsenal are among clubs chasing the 18 year-old's signature.

Jewell believes Wickham is destined to become a senior England international.

He has already won Under 17, Under 19 and Under 21 honours, and Jewell said: "He can go all the way. But he still needs to improve in a lot of areas and he knows that himself.

"He is quick, strong and has all the tools to be a top player. Connor is very mature, although I think he has a tattoo that is spelt wrong.

"But seriously he is a very nice lad, if a bit too laid-back at times. I'd like to see him be a bit more aggressive."

Wickham said this week: "I just want to keep playing football. And I want to play football at the highest level."
