Ipswich Town have submitted a £3.5million bid for Everton striker Ellis Simms, reports claim.
The 22-year-old striker is facing a contested summer at Goodison Park. He was recalled by the Toffees from a positive loan spell at Sunderland early last season, in which he scored seven in 16 Championship outings for the Black Cats.
He’d go on to play a bit part role for Sean Dyche’s side who sealed Premier League survival on the final day of the season, but reports have since suggested that Simms could be on the move this summer with Sunderland said to be keen on a return.
Now though, a report in The Sun’s print edition (via TWTD) has claimed that Ipswich Town have made a £3.5million bid to sign Simms this summer. TWTD though say that, whilst Simms is a target for the Tractor Boys, the fee is likely to be overestimated.
The same report also claims that Ipswich Town are closing in on a season-long loan deal for Crystal Palace youngster Jesurun Rak-Sakyi, who scored 15 goals and assisted eight more for Charlton Athletic in League One last season.
TWTD though say that a move for Rak-Sakyi is not imminent.
