Ipswich boss Paul Jewell has confirmed he has made bids for five players in the last week. Portsmouth duo Jason Pearce and Joel Ward, Falkirk defender Murray Wallace as well as Crewe's attacking midfielder Nick Powell have all been strongly linked to the Championship outfit.
"We have offers in for five players. They are all players, young players, who are at an age where they can help take Ipswich Town on.
"We think the offers we have made are fair ones. Obviously we know the transfer deadline is approaching and we'd like to have some new faces here before the West Ham game (next Tuesday) but we will have to wait and see what happens. Signing a player now, any player, is so complicated - and so frustrating." "We are looking to improve the team and not just for this season but in seasons going on," Jewell told Town's official website.
