Ipswich cool over talk of Wickham return

Ipswich boss Paul Jewell has played down the possibility of striker Connor Wickham returning to the club on loan, reports BBC Sport. The 19-year-old has been linked with a move back to Portman Road after only making five Premier League starts for Sunderland last season.

"I think we've got first call on Connor if he becomes a loan," Jewell told BBC Radio Suffolk.

"I also think we've got to pay three quarters of his wages and we haven't got that type of money."
