Connor Unlikely to Leave According to Agent

Wickham is currently only on a youth contract at the club and Town cannot offer him a professional deal until he turns 17 in March, leaving other clubs with a chance of offering him a deal to snatch the striker from under Town's noses.

However Goddard, a former Town player and youth team boss says that this is unlikely: "Connor will most likely be staying with Town, but I have to say that some agents would have had him set for a Premier League club by now. There has certainly been no lack of interest in the boy.

"I believe that Connor will be better served being in and around the first team of a club like Ipswich than being lower down the pecking order with a Premier League club.

"Nothing is signed and sealed yet, but this is the way it's looking. The boy is not 17 until March."
