Ipswich boss Roy Keane is battling to keep hold of Connor Wickham ahead of the January market.

The People says Ipswich are fighting to stop rising star Wickham from joining one of the Premier League big boys.

Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool and Aston Villa all want to snatch the youngster away from Portman Road when he turns 17 in March.

Keane has told Wickham his career would be best served by staying at Portman Road and developing his game.
